Are they really needed in some places? I go past some and they are stood on crossings with traffic lights which is effectively doing their job. Others tend to stop traffic every time they see somebody within 100 yards in case they want to cross, whether they are a child or not.

I can understand them on roads with no crossings or anything to help kids cross the road.

Surely decent road crossings can do the same job?

I think abuse is a bit too far for a guy doing his job!
