I would have hoped that if a child minder was taking kids to the beach they'd take adequate precautions, hats, creams, shirts, wind breaks and shelters. Because [i]there isn't much shade and more light is reflected off the sea and sand than in your average back garden. That's why so many people end up getting burned there[/i]
Have you ever been to a beach?
Yes I grew up by the coast and all my family is still there. I visit the beach alot with my kids. Your right, it isn't a new phenomenon. That's why when I go I take provisions to ensure my children are safe. The same any responsible parent or carer should do.
You still haven't answered if your opinion would change if this happened in her back garden. People can still get burnt by the sun away from the beach you know or is this a phenomenon you haven't come across yet...
Mmm,the line from 3rd Rock From The Sun rings true..."I want to have babies like the humans..and pay complete strangers to look after them"...
The buck stops where?
I had had sunburn to blisters as a child and I turned out OK. Able to spend mucho time in the sun without cream nowadays without fear of burning.
Blame aside for a sec.
Thats very bad Sunburn and you kid needs to see a doctor.
