I suspect there is more hidden between the lines, such as perhaps the girl has not been taught to keep her cane's tip at ground level. Has she in fact had any professional instruction in using a cane?

Hi,
I was wondering what the view on the list about the story of a 7 year old girl has been denied the use of a long cane due to "health and safety concerns" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-34844437
Thanks
