Isn't it sad how our society has become when people are
scared to keep images of children.

There is no law against keeping images of children. Noone
gets charged simply for this. Sometimes in cases against
child molesters it is used as additonal evidence but the
keeping of images themselves is not in itelf an offence.

I have hundreds of images, okay they are of my own children,
but can you see what I'm getting at! I'm sure I probably
also have photos of most of the school plays I have directed
over the years and perhaps some of field trips I have led.
Should I be worried about prosecution? No, of course not.

I think your school is sensible to keep the tapes and
needn't worry so long as you check you aren't breaking any
data protection laws.

A higher percentage of eggs sold are from free range hens

Conclusion: We live in a century where people are more
concerned
about the welfare of chickens than they are the welfare of
people.
PLEASE BUY FAIRTRADE!
