I wrote to our local paper today, after visiting a young friend in hospital who has recently been in a car accident. She is going to be alright, once she heals. No thanks to these particular visitors. ( I think most readers already know what I think about them ).
I am disgusted, appalled and horrified.
Recently a young friend of mine had a serious car accident.
Admittedly it was her fault, a fact that she takes full responsibility for.I was this young girl's teacher, I know the kind of person she is, and I know she has not taken this incident lightly.
She was badly hurt and consequently hospitalised.
During the first few days of her hospitalisation, whilst this young lady lay there, broken and unnable to move, she had a visit. Enter the Tasmanian Police force, complete with hefty fine and news of demerit points to her hospital bedside.
Now call me human or something, but I don't think this sort of ' visit ' appropriate. At least give the young lady time to heal a little, this girl needs rest and a stess-less environment. Maybe send the fine through the mail, like all the others sent out. I thought policing was about positive relationships with the community, not kicking people when they are down.
Are your quotas so important ?
How about your human-quota, that could do with a bit of a kick-start !
Ho-hum...
