      Do we, however, give a thought to those who at the moment are alive and well who would be horrified to suspect that after the holidays they spend their future maybe in a wheelchair or belong to those 50 or 60 who had become statistics leaving shocked relatives behind?

      Out of a range of contributing factors that lead to serious traffic accidents, one aspect appears to be paramount. That factor is commonly unrecognised, ignored and overshadowed by a "It doesn't happen to me" attitude. So it remains a secret that is never even considered.

      Those who follow various opinions in the media may be confused about the role that school education plays in our children's advancement. Is there a forgotten link?

      In our society, little thought is given to the prevention of future frustrations, marital discord, prevention even of unacceptable sexual activities that we may expect to read about in the newspapers, one day in the future. How do we communicate with our young on matters of sexual health and procreation?

      This is a synopsis of a saga that highlights the misunderstandings and suffering that may be the result when there is a lack of trusting communication between adults and children..
