I heard the Danish social worker on radio 4 this morning and when she said that if anything happens to the child she gives them a hug, my cynical mind thought - in the UK if anything happened to them she'd be sued for neglect, and if she hugged them she'd be arrested for abuse.
We've become a seriously sad nation.

I can imagine that this will change sadly.
Kids respond to encouragement - these days they are wrapped in cotton wool and learn from the net - hence they get pregnant earlier and get depressed about life.
One day society will realise that the current PC and H&S laws which the New Labour Zealouts have imposed on us in the UK ( and some other countries ) actually make life less enjoyable and less aspirational.

In Denmark care workers hug and kiss the children!
Alert the police! Abuse!
And 6 in 10 care kids there go onto higher education - in Britain it's 6 in 100.
