Holiday injury news
06/05/2008
Children taken into Portuguese care as parents collapse drunk
The Press Association has reported the case of a pair of holiday-makers who passed out drunk in front of their three children, leaving them open to the risk of a holiday injury.
The parents, both in their early thirties, were taken to a health centre, and their children, aged between one and six, were taken temporarily into care in Faro to prevent the possibility of any significant distress or personal injury occurring, before being returned a day later.
They now have to extend their vacation to face a judge at the Family and Minors court.
A source close to the family said "They are very sorry about everything. They are ashamed - they know what they did.
"They were tired, they had woken up at about 4am (to travel to Portugal), then there was the flight. Then it was too hot - they are very red, they got a lot of sun. All this together could be the reason."
Fortunately, no holiday injury has been reported in this case. Personal injury solicitors state that alcohol is known to be a significant factor in holiday accident claims.
