These morons taking their children out on sea walls etc are unfit to be parents. They should be named & shamed and the children taken into care

The seemingly endless bad weather continues to dominate the papers. The Daily Mirror focuses on one "mad dad", as it puts it, who took his young daughter close to a "20ft wave". It says he "risked his girl's life by ignoring danger warnings to lift her up to peek over the harbour wall at the huge waves

It said 2 fools got washed out to sea and drowned in 2007 from the same sea wall - the added problem is causing the RNLI, HM Coastguard etc to risk their lives searching for the crackpots
