LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
CHILD PROTECTION
Following recently criticised moves to require the vetting of adults who merely come into supervised contact with children, it really is time that the government bit the bullet over child protection.
As it is widely acknowledged that the majority of child abuse occurs in the familial home, potential parents should have to obtain full Disclosure certificates for themselves and their immediate circle of relatives and friends before being allowed to parent children. If they attempt to circumvent these procedures, appropriate medical steps could be taken.
Of course, the poor should not have to pay for these certificates, but it would amount to a tax on the middle classes which could be invested to fund further child protection measures. If it saved one child it would be worth it!
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas

Yes good point. But you mentioned bullet in the same sentence as child. You will have to be castrated I'm afraid. You're an obvious danger to children.
