People playing a new board game can gain points for kidnapping a girl who is pictured bound and gagged.

Dollars and Dibble is being offered for sale in the same county where Roy Whiting was jailed for life for the murder and kidnap of Sarah Payne last week.

It is disgusting that this game, which also glorifies the drug trade, should be produced at any time, let alone now.

It's sick it should be on sale in Brighton and that people should be buying it at Minky in Gardner Street at £50 a time.

It's easy to say Dollars and Dibble is only a game but the trouble is impressionable people might get the idea that kidnapping and drug dealing are also only games.

People all over Sussex and the UK were horrified at what happened to eight-year-old Sarah. Drugs are no laughing matter in the city where there are more than 1,800 addicts spending millions of pounds a year on feeding their habits.

Much of this cash is raised through crime, ranging from breaking into cars to mugging old people in the street.

At least one drug user a week dies from addiction while the people peddling drugs grow rich through their disgusting trade.

This game makes light of kidnapping youngsters and glorifies an illegal business that leads to degradation and often death.

The proprietors of Minky should be ashamed of offering it for sale. They and the manufacturers are making a fast buck out of fools and the sooner people stop buying it the better.
