I refer to the airlines' policy
about children travelling alone. The issue is not whether women and even
children sexually abuse other children. It is the protection of children when
they fly unaccompanied. Radio has reported that five
children were victims of sexual abuse while travelling alone. One is
unacceptable, let alone five. The policy is probably
discriminatory and I acknowledge it is not pleasant for men to be lumped in
with society's scum, but what are the alternatives? Do they ban unaccompanied
children, employ qualified minders at parents' expense, pre-organise seating
arrangements, police check travellers or ignore the whole thing for fear of
being seen as PC? The angry men out there should spare
a thought for the five children who did suffer sexual abuse at the hands of
fellow male travellers. How would they feel if one of those children were
their own?
