  Totally agree Rick. One thing though, the rope swing is not a good example seeing a child in Dover was tragically killed after a fall from a rope swing. That said such incidents are thankfully very rare and its something many of us have done and our children should not be deprived of it due to one terrible incident.
  
  Some more good news to demonstrate the new Government is getting to grips with a lot of the idiocy that has arisen over the last 13 years.
  
  Theresa May has announced that she's dropping the Vetting and Barring scheme, under which 9 million adults working with children would have to register on a government database or face a £5,000 fine.
  
  Clearly children need protecting from paedos but you can go too far, and spend too much, on child protection. Most child abusers (still quite rare despite the media hysteria it generates) tend to be in the family and no amount of vetting will stop that. This scheme which, even after amended by Balls, was far over the top. The Royal College of Nursing was even taking legal action over the requirement for nurses to register!
