Parents behaving badly

Throughout the two-day youth football event, cars were parked illegally on cycle lanes, illegally at the edges of junctions, obstructively on pavements (completely blocking them for wheelchair users, pram-pushers, etc), encroaching on private driveways (thoroughly inconsiderate) and on roadside grass verges (environmentally damaging).
Supporting and encouraging the youngsters in healthy sport, team-play and social engagement is highly desirable, but it does not bode well for their future society to teach them to pursue their activities with careless disregard for the law, the local environment and consideration for others.
