There are reports saying that the mother lied about her age so she could go on the ride

I really hope thats not true.

Though Ive seen it, Im sure we all have, I saw a father arguing black and blue with ride operators of the 'chair-o-plane' (its not called that anymore, dont remember what they call it these days) to let his 3 year old son on, and tried to carry him onto the ride when he thought they werent looking. I was horrified that he thought a child so small should be allowed on.

Mugs and I were at the Robbie Williams concert the other night and a small girl, between 7-9 was hauled from the standing area, and carried past us by security, unconscious. She was fine, we saw her on the train station later that night.
