Their incessant cries of \"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?\" are clearly a distraction to drivers who are forced to turn around - thus taking their eyes off the road - in order to slap said children about the knees (if such action is still legal) whilst shouting \"Shut up!\"\r\n\r\nSmall children in cars are far more distracting than mobile phones and smoking.\r\n\r\nTherefore they should be banned from cars and forced to either walk or get the bus. This will have the added bonus of forcing the little fatties to get some much needed exercise.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2011-11-21T22:28:17.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:37.527Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-11-22T09:21:36.000Z","closed_at":"2012-11-22T09:21:36.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-11-21T22:28:17.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":54846,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/54846.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Legislate for school escorts on transport from home to Specialist Support schools to receive mandatory disability awareness training.","background":null,"additional_details":"Legislate for school escorts on school transport (from home to Specialist Support schools and return) to receive the required disability awareness training.

In 2012 I contacted Maria Miller, The Mayor of London’s Office and LFW but they ignored my concerns. Yet, as we know, such images put young people at risk of (at best) worries about body shape and feelings of self loathing and (at worst) anorexia and possibly even death. LFW’s organisers know that they are putting under 18s at risk but continue to allow designers to use unrealistic stick-thin models. The UK Government (one of LFW’s sponsors) has a responsibility to protect under 18s and therefore must legislate to prevent the use of underweight models at such events.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2013-09-20T10:20:13.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:24.054Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2013-09-20T13:24:41.000Z","closed_at":"2014-09-20T13:24:41.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-09-20T10:20:13.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":55229,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/55229.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Stop government agencies removing disability and benefits for children from parents when their children reach age 16.","background":null,"additional_details":"My son has autism and is in receipt of disability living allowance, which was paid to me, his mother and legal guardian since his birth.
