| It is difficult from the perspective of middle age to understand the actions of some young people who chose to go along to raves at the weekend. Thousands of youngsters met up at events all over the country to enjoy music and behave as though we are not in the middle of a pandemic. They may feel, probably rightly, that the Covid-19 outbreak will not directly affect them as few of them will have the risk factors most associated with the worst cases. However, they do have relatives. And they do have a responsibility to society at large. It does make you wonder what happens to them when they get home, given we are constantly being told young people these days cannot afford to get on the property ladder and so most are living with parents. Do their parents know where they have been and condone it? Are they uncomfortable but feel they can do nothing about it? Or are they simply being kept in the dark? The Government has made it clear that police have powers to break up and fine those who organise these events. As the authorities start to crackdown, parents whose offspring are living at home, should also be asking questions. While teenagers' lives are not at risk, those of their parents and grandparents may be. |
