You've got to be careful with these parades. A few years ago, we were watching a parade where a young 'rosebud queen' was riding in a horse drawn carriage by herself (she was about 8 yrs old), when suddenly the horse started bolting, and ran off down the road, it later tipped the carriage over with the little girl in and she ended up being treated in hospital for head injuries!
The other side to these parades that I think parents should be mindful of is the fact that they tend to draw paedophiles out to watch little children dressed up!
Personally, unless I could be at the side of my children, I don't think I'd like the idea of them participating.

We don't have parades here but I did watch the ones in the US on TV. I can see how nice and fun it can be, unfortunately we live in times with so many sickos lurking around! Hence I think parents should be mindful the way they dress their kids for these kind of events (including boys!) and have them under constant supervision.

WESTCLIFFE, Colo. - Custer County High School has canceled homecoming activities after the death of a girl who was injured during a homecoming parade today. County officials say the 15-year-old girl tried to climb aboard a float built on a flatbed trailer and fell under the trailer's back wheels. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. School officials identified her as Courtney Curtis. The homecoming game tonight was canceled, and Custer County High School has canceled classes for Monday. Grief counselors will be on hand. |
