Shepherdess kids need rules too

SOCIAL services were right to question The Yorkshire Shepherdess about letting her children ride a quad bike without a helmet.

Amanda Owen, the star of Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm and mother of nine, admitted she ‘got a yellow flag’ from social workers, but said she wanted her children to set their ‘own parameters’.

I’m all for allowing children to climb trees and make campfires, but quad bikes can be lethal.
