It's such a Nanny state these days.
We used to do the same. Hide and seek on building sites. We used to run along the top of half built walls two storeys up to escape each other, or run across the rafters if the roof was being built. Great fun, but my parents would have gone mental if they'd seen us. Had to leg it from the a couple of times but never got caught

It was fun to watch.

Given that its in Liverpool; it's probably the safest place for the kid

He shouldn't have been up there, but an 80 hour community order seems like a bit of an overreaction.
If the kid was left unsupervised rather than at work with dad, he'd probably be up to far worse.
Can't vote, as the poll fails CUK regulations.

Well looking at that scaffold I would not go on it (missing hand rails / bracing / ladder gates / ties ) so no, sprog should not be up there.
