So it should be up to the goverment to legislate that he must wash his hands??
We have gone beyond ludicrous!
It used to be a common practice to wash up before dinner. Why we stopped doing this, I don't know, because people will touch germy things all day long, but until they put their fingers in their mouth, they are protected by their skin. It just makes sense to wash your hands before you eat.
You are being ludicrous. Did I say the government should legislate it? No. I said parents should teach it to their children.
