AntiSocial - Child-free spaces
Should we have more child-free spaces?
The French state railway company has introduced child-free carriages on some of its high-speed trains. This has caused a row online.
Adam Fleming gets to the bottom of the story and asks if there is a growing demand for more child-free spaces. But is the debate simply a measure of growing intolerance - particularly of children - in society.
