Well, just to add my pennith.... I have said for years that there are far too many do-gooder's wanting to make sure that criminal human rights are looked after. How many have got off with crimes because of their 'deprived, single parent up-bringings'???? A load of trollop!!!! Bring back real deterants and I bet they stop mugging, stabbing and being pure little s**ts!
I must admit, I have very rarely smacked my kids, but I have punished them. Grounding and the removal of privileges seem to work for my lot.
Coming From quite a deprived area, I blame the parents, far to many kids are left to their own devices and left to fend for themselves while the parents are out, drinking and partying. Don't get me wrong, I haven't been a hermit since I had kids, BUT I have always made sure that I have had babysitters and the kids were in the house before I went out and weren't allowed out. I was brought up knowing right from wrong, I have tried my best to pass that onto my kids. My 2 eldest have had a very unsettled life, sometimes only having me as both parents and they have turned out great. Both have had full time jobs from leaving school, both have never been in trouble with the police and I am extremely proud of them. Something does need to be done about this mob culture, starting with re-instilling morals into British society.
