lol, actually not far of what i was getting at.
No matter how stupid or how over coucious a word from you parents iseem to be, i still believe it has some sort of subliminal effect.
So even if the child seems to take no notice, they will still take more care and act more sensibly.
I'm not blameing the parents, and i'm not laughing at the situation, but i'm certainly nor feelying sympathetic.
A 10 year-old boy to me is still completely oblivious of what is safe and what isn't, and in many cases won't know right from wrong.
I was merely trying to say that i'm sure it could of been ovoided, and i cam across as sounding harsh and ignorant (as usual).
Btw, the snowball apparently weighed quarter of a tonne.
