Child abuse?
 
Given all the problems they'll face, is it child abuse for British people to bring up their children in Canada?

Surely that's only the case if you move them after they're old enough to know they've been displaced. If they're moved at a very young age or are born here, they won't have been abused but will, of course, always regret that their parents felt they couldn't make something of themselves at home and, instead, settled for the colonies.

Given all the problems they'd be more likely to face in the UK, is it child abuse for British people to bring up their children in Britain? :sneaky:

I don't know whether you have kids Oink. But if you do, that's child abuse surely?

No, that's heritage. And the "more likely to face in the UK" bit is questionable at best, at least they'd be warm.

You regularly ask such inane questions without providing your opinion. Why don't you tell us what problems the children will face here that they won't face in the rest of the civilized world?

Remember the good old days in the 70's when ya mum had to put your tea in the oven to keep warm because you was out with your mates having fun. And when you eventually came home your tea was all dried up, and just warm.?

Well thats my lad now at 15, since we moved to Ajax, he out enjoying his childhood with his mates. No he aint hanging round the offie, or throwing bricks off the flyover, he is at the community skate park, futty field or open air swimming pool.

He is looking fwd to driving his mate, who is visiting from the uk round next month when we get him his G2 licence.

Leaving your kids with oink for a few hour maybe the only abuse i can think of......Lol

I found that in Canada, I was much more inclined to beat my children, it just seems so much more the done thing here. Kind of like Britain in the 50s.

Anyway, does 'em no harm etc. etc., but I dare say I'll not get away with it so much in England. Though, to be fair, Norfolk is kind of like Britain in the 50s, so maybe I'll still be alright.
