Can't trust the parents to make an adequate judgement as to the capabilities of the child - slap on a law.<br /><br />NZ is a different place now than it was in the past because of such laws and interference from government.Lucia Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485990994973953860noreply@blogger.com
