Couple warned over allowing children to cycle to school alone
4th July 2010
Oliver and Gillian Schonrock let their daughter, eight, and son, five, cycle a mile unsupervised from their home in Dulwich, south London, to Alleyn’s junior school.
Last week the Schonrocks met the headmaster and said they were told that unless they supervised the journey in both directions they would be referred to children’s services.
I used to walk back and forth to kindergarten every day when I was five. I got a bicycle at 7 and cycled back and forth to school until my Senior year in High School. The biggest problem was dogs.
- Thank God you don’t live in Britain.
- Without eternal vigilance, it could happen here. Probably in California.
