It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.

I did have a rather scary experience up at Woodford Folk Festival last year.
Woodford has a very family friendly atmosphere, including having a huge fenced off kids town, where people look after the children and lead them in activities. However it is also a huge festival.
I was watching a fire/juggling performance in the main part of the festival. A woman came up with a young girl, sat her down on a chair in the crowd, told her she would be back in five minutes, then left her. The girl really wasn't old enough to be left on her own, and was very scared without her mum. She wasn't really interested in watching the performance.
After about 10 minutes, the girl just bolted off into the crowd looking for her mum. I followed to try and catch her. Fortunately another woman in the crowd had found her, and the poor little thing was in a stranger's arms bawling her eyes out. I explained to that woman that I didn't know the girl (her mum hadn't even asked people in the crowd to keep an eye on her), and explained what had happened. She was happy to keep an eye on her for a bit, whilst I went back and watched the show and kept an eye out for the girl's mum.
After about half an hour, the other woman obviously needed to be somewhere, so she brought the little girl back and sat her down again. After another painful 10 minutes, off the little girl went, running through the crowd to find her mum. This time she went so fast I couldn't follow her. I couldn't see her anywhere although I looked.
I am assuming that her mum did find her, but to be honest I never saw them. She was left alone for at least 40 minutes, relying on complete strangers who didn't even know her name and hadn't even been asked to look out for her.
A fireperformance is not a child minding service. It is not like leaving your kids in front of the TV at home for half an hour whilst you peg out the washing. A festival is not a safe place to leave kids on their own.
I have seen a lot of careful parents at festivals and doofs. People who create a safe little place to take their kids back to when bed time rolls around (or take them home). People who put ear muffs and ear plugs on their kids to block out the loud music. People who don't leave their kids to play alone. I have seen a lot of very happy kids at festivals and doofs, usually at 7am playing in the sunshine. There are ways of being responsible with your kids at these types of events. I hate witnessing when people aren't responsible.

Fire spinning classes, with fire, so that's learning fire with fire, and providing no fencing or other blockade to prevent accidents like this?! Sounds more like the organisers complete lack of responsibility than the parents.....
