Home Inspected for Children's Safety

(UK) This is disturbing. Britain is trending in a manner which suggests it's not unreasonable to think that there will soon be a government inspection program to make sure all citizens are regularly changing their underwear.

Parents of children under five are to get home checks to ensure they are keeping their youngsters safe.

Inspectors will check whether families have installed smoke alarms, stair gates, locks on medicine cupboards, windows and ovens, and fitted temperature controls to stop bath water getting too hot.

Guidelines for inspections have been drawn up on the instructions of the Department of Health in a bid to prevent injuries among under-15s in the home.

Of course, the child safety police will be in addition to the refrigerator and cupboard police and the trash bin law enforcers already empowered by British nanny-state stupidity.
