Now, Is This Really Common Sense?

In Glasgow, Scotland, a new regulation states
a parent must escort children under 16 years old to the washroom in places such as restaurants.
and any other “licensed” restroom. What are they afraid of? Children being snatched? Pretty sure most 14-16 year olds can handle going to the bathroom by themselves.
“While children are in any part of licensed premises and in particular the toilet areas, they must at all times be within sight of an accompanying adult.”
Really? I’m sure the 15 year olds love that. Mom or Dad tagging along to the bathroom? Ew. Gross.
They claim the rule is in place to prevent any harm to the children, but it sounds more like businesses covering their butts if something should happen.
They also “expect licensees to apply this rule with a degree of common sense,” the council said.”
A DEGREE OF COMMON SENSE. Right. Doesn’t seem like common sense prevails here.
