I HAVE been in the USA for three months and my friend always keeps the Review for me.

I was shocked and disappointed to read the item about children picking flowers in the park.

The thing that appalled me most was the personal attack on the lady who dared to complain.

It's illegal to pick flowers from a public park – the flowers are there for everyone to enjoy.

I hope the lady who complained is reading this letter and I hope you are still using the park.

The people who said these things are beyond contempt and are truly despicable.

I see they didn't put their names to the sick rant – gutless I think.
