"Well I think it's really wrong that parents like take it out... like take their kids out to do something really nice, like to the fair or something and break it to them 'cos I think that's wrong. Because when I was nine, I had to go to court 'cos of my dad because he hurt my mum and he wanted me to live with him then my mum just put me aside and said, 'I've got something to tell you' and I said 'I think that's better if you tell me you've split up with him. I don't think that they... erm... should leave it to the last minute to tell their children, because they're all happy and see their parents together, they might think, oh this is going well, but when it gets to the last minute to tell them, they now get really upset 'cos they've just done it and they've not told yer."
