That is, the police (and in many cases parents) appear to be more afraid of kids than vice versa.<br /><br />In our village it's increasingly unpleasant to visit the shops after dark as groups of yobs hang around swearing, spitting, drinking and kicking footballs across the road at each other, often when cars are coming. My daughter asks; 'are they bad boys daddy?' It's a difficult question to answer.<br /><br />Why does it happen? Is it the parent's fault? Is it the decline of respect for elders and law and order? Is it boredom?<br /><br />My own personal opinion (trust me I have an opinion on absolutely everything) is that 99% of the problem is bad parenting. If kids are brought up with little parental contact, no respect for anyone (including themselves) and raised on a diet of nihilistic soaps populated with miserable characters constantly being nasty to each other, they're going to reckon that anything is fair game to alleviate their self-imposed boredom. Drugs, petty crime and two fingers to society are the result.<br />Bring back the good old days when punks sang about anarchy in the UK, that's what I say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24770948.post-19435945953830078682006-10-30T20:54:00.000+00:002006-10-30T20:54:00.000+00:00You should send that in to your local paper

If either of my kids did this sort of thing there would be huge repercussions for them. CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
