THANK you for printing the comments in 'Relatives must share blame for tragic tots' (Letters, July 2) and the writer for penning them.

Why? Because all those thoughts arose in my mind. It's the trend today to pass the buck, to blame drugs or alcohol.

Yet, nobody forced these people to take drugs or drink. We should all be responsible for our own actions, and be punished accordingly.

GLADYS ROBINSON (Mrs), Edge End, Great Harwood.
