The Scotsman

One rule for him?

-

Former Minister for Childcare and Early Years Mark Mcdonald has asked for “privacy” while he deals with whatever problems he has that render him unfit for office in the Scottish Government (your report, 13 November). Oh, how the parents of Scotland would like to be afforded the same “privacy” to deal with their personal matters. Will Mr Mcdonald’s indiscreti­ons appear on his children’s chronologi­es like the rest of us, and be discussed and shared amongst myriad practition­ers, assessing its impact on their wellbeing and whether it constitute­s a concern that requires the state to intervene?
