I REFER to the letter from the Angry Parent in June 5 edition. There’s a responsibility on dog owners to control their dogs and pick up their excrement.

However isn’t there also a responsibility on parents to supervise their children? She implies that her children should be allowed to ride their scooters with no regard for others.

I walk my dog on the lead on the pathways and I’ve had incidents in which parents have allowed their children to ride scooters and bikes towards my dog. Is this responsible behaviour?

Whether you visit the park in the company of your children or your dog, act responsibly and show consideration to others.
