Children are "too scared" to play outside because of fear of crime. Speaking on BBC Breakfast, the Auxiliary Bishop of Liverpool has said crime in the city has left local children so scared that they have stopped playing outside.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast following the shooting of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, Bishop Tom Williams said: “People are obviously angry and scared, and the children in particular. I mean, it’s a child that was killed and I think the effect on them, that’s going to last for a long, long time.
“You don’t see children playing on the streets as often as you used to and all that, because there’s this element of fear of another world going on. I think there’s a lot of work of work to be done in schools and things with children.”
