Two primary-school-aged boys were using the baby head stones as hurdles.
My niece is laid to rest there and the sight of those boys treating it as a playground has spurred me to turn the car around ready to say something to them.
I went straight to the fence because it was the quickest way to approach them to get them to stop. As I got to the fence I saw that they were accompanied by a woman.
I was shocked and ended up going back to the car. What adult with any respect lets children do that.
What if a mother of one of those babies saw this. I may only be that child's aunty but it upset me greatly.
