PARENTS are being banned from the school run in a bid to cut pollution, and protect kids from breathing in dangerous fumes. Schools around the country are piloting schemes to stop parents hovering in their cars at the school gates - and they face a £50 fine if they flout the ban. Thousands of schools are set to follow, reports the Mirror, with other measures including penalties leading to points on licences. Campaigners now want the ban to be put in place throughout the country, with one in four cars said to be on the road during the school run. Director of policy and communications at the British Lung Foundation, Alison Cook, said: “Toxic air is linked to asthma and chronic chest problems, and damage to the lungs in early age is irreversible. “That’s why illegal levels of pollution around schools is hugely worrying.” Rosamund Kissi-Debrah's daughter, Ella, died from an asthma attack linked to air pollution in February 2013.

A TWISTED teenager raped and murdered a six-year-old girl after becoming obsessed by internet horror character The Slender Man.

Toddler found wandering streets barefoot and in nappy while mum ‘scored drug deal’
A TODDLER was found wandering the streets barefoot and in a nappy while his drug-addict mum was busy scoring from a dealer. The 18-month-old was wearing just a t-shirt and nappy when he was discovered at night by a cab driver in the Everton suburb of Liverpool. The tot’s 33-year-old mum and the child’s dad were spared jail for child neglect. She was said to be "off her head on drugs” when she left the baby to “score a deal”. The woman, from Anfield, and her boyfriend both admitted child neglect at Sefton magistrates’ court. District judge John McGarva told her: “You were off your heads on drugs and you'd been out to score a drugs deal. "When you consider what could have happened to your child, it's only a matter of fortune we are not in a different situation.” The youngster was found 45 minutes after the alarm was raised at 10.30pm on August 2 last year. The mum has since lost custody of her child who was put in emergency foster care. … [Read more...] about Toddler found wandering streets barefoot and in nappy while mum ‘scored drug deal’
