NOWHERE is safe, no one is sacrosanct. The thieves who stole computer games from a York Hospital children's ward have plumbed new depths of dishonesty.
Local teenagers raised the money to buy the PlayStation software before Christmas. For sick young patients, the games brought some relief from the pain, worry and boredom of a hospital stay.
None of this mattered to the thieves. Those who steal from sick children must have jettisoned their conscience long ago.
We can only hope the thieves are caught and confronted with the consequences of their actions.
