DO the parents of the child, who upset my son on January 31, at Waves Leisure Centre in Blackburn, not wonder where their child acquired his new Adidas buttoned pants?

Have they not asked how he or she managed to go swimming and come back with a new pair of pants?

I saved long and hard to provide my son with these clothes.

How dare their child think it is his or her right to just take them?

If their child was taught some manners and basic human skills, perhaps another child wouldn't be disappointed and upset as mine was.
