The worst child abuse takes place daily on the streets of Brighton and Hove.

Children are trained to use pedestrian crossings, to press the button and wait.

What are they to think as motorists tear through when the green man is showing?

Two cars rushed by as I crossed with a child.

Fortunately, I managed to stop her in time but she cannot understand why the cars went through when she was supposed to be safe.

The time before that, it was a taxi which jumped the lights. It was going so fast I had to leap back, dragging her with me.

Is this because Brighton people think they are a law unto themselves?

Or perhaps they don't think at all?
