A class of primary school children recently found a trip to
the swimming pool to be an awful lot more than they expected when they were
evacuated from the leisure centre by panic stricken teachers.
But what
sparked this scare was nothing more than a prosthetic leg that had been left in
a changing cubicle. Someone a group of teachers saw a prosthetic limb and came
to the only logical conclusion; must be a paedo thing. So they rushed the 60
8-9 year old kids out of the building.
How does a prosthetic leg equal a paedophile? Yeah, your
guess is as good as mine. The best I can figure is they assumed it might be a
cleverly (but not that cleverly) disguised camera or something. But to be
brutally honest, I have no idea why they came to that conclusion, or how you
mistake a prosthetic leg for a paedophile; it just doesn’t make sense as far as
I can see it. But it happened, so it must have made sense to someone somewhere
along the way.
Apparently a disabled man innocently left the leg whilst he went for a
swim. Didn’t he need it at least to walk to the pool? So many
unanswerable questions.
Apparently everything was dealt with according to school
policy. I like to think a few laughs were had when they all realised they’d
been panicking about a leg. Everything’s resolved, except of course all the
questions as to how on earth this ever was a thing at all; so, so many
questions still.
