THE dangers of “tomb-stoning” and other risky games were spelled out to youngsters in Barry by police at the start of the school holidays.
Police Community Support Officers from the town’s Castleland ward, in Barry, were on hand at Holton Primary School to give summer holiday safety advice to pupils.
Key messages from the Castleland team focused on the dangers of jumping from rocks into the sea, misuse of the lifebelts on the waterfront and the dangers of playing near the railway tracks.
PCSO Alex Mackay said: “Making children aware of the risks they are taking when playing in these places will hopefully persuade them not to visit these areas.
“We will be patrolling Castleland throughout the summer and I would remind all children that they can come and speak to PCSO Hayley Warren or me if they have any questions.”

Everybody knows that children are vulnerable. But in today's nervous world, it is easy to forget how resilient, adaptable and capable they are. In preoccupying ourselves with the need to keep our loved ones safe, we risk denying them the freedom they need to develop, to grow up. And this has its own, very real, dangers.
