Leaving your kids with their grandparents could be bad for their health and may even increase their risk of cancer, scientists have warned.  Most parents think of grandparents as a great, if reluctant, source of free babysitting – but they’re actually a deadly silver-haired menace which must be stopped. Or at least that’s what a new report suggests.   Grandparents who stuff children with sweet treats and big helpings of chips (in between popping out for crafty fags) could actually be giving the children cancer, the report warns.   They also allow them to laze about inside, playing video games or watching TV, instead of running around outside, it is alleged.
