The big carry-over Forum debate this week isn’t about pursuing levies debts – that’s sooo last week – it’s about whether kids should be prevented from playing on a common property driveway, even when they are accompanied by an adult.
For some reason, we got bogged down in needing to know whose insurance should pay for an injured infant – probably because that’s the (possibly bogus) reason being given for changing the by-law from “if accompanied” to a “no way, never” rule.
I’m more interested in the definition of “supervised” and “accompanied”. Are your kids being supervised when you are texting your bestie for a risotto recipe (tip, don’t hold back on the white wine) while they fail to hear the approach of an electric car?
Are they being accompanied when you are physically present but your mind is elsewhere, like in the pages of the audiobook you are listening to on your noise cancelling, scream suppressing headphones.
Kids need to play and that involves falling off bikes and skinning their knees. They also need to not be run over by silent cars and monster utes. Have your two cents worth HERE.
