We really did create a problem by letting the academic experts brigade to haqve so much say in matters they know nothing about.
People rightly say parents should be made responsible yet we have these "experts deny parents not only the Right but also the absolute necessity to discipline their children. Now these "experts" are starting to blame the parents for the brainwashing of the kids by our idiotic social engineering outfits.
If damages need to be paid let him/her who says the kids are not responsible pay the costs !
Teachers need to be given the task of discipling unruly kids ! Anyone charged with monitoring kids must have the right to discipline kids.
Kids need to be in awe of older people not see defiance as a Right to cause disruption or damage or even hurt !

The loss of blue collar majority made the white collars the only game in town.

Hi Indy, good topic.

I understand your concerns with juvenile crime, and the affect it is having on innocent people. There is a problem, and it has to be addressed. I was pleased with the change of government here in Queensland and am willing to give the LNP a chance to tackle this and other issues confronting the state. Catchy slogans and media hype work for so long, but eventually the true reality of the situation catches up and the new government will have to deliver. The honeymoon period is on now, then the jury will be out, after that finally the voters will decide.

I think one of the tactics to curb youth crime could be to incarcerate the the culprits & being watched over by members of their family. This would literally put a dead stop to deaths in custody !
Remodel facilities by removing gyms, internet rooms etc so the watchers can move in !

Well, a drunken adult (female anti-vaxxer) who ripped the hair out of a female cop's head during her arrest has "avoided jail" according to news last night. Magistrates and judges don't have the knackers to lock up adult thugs; why would they punish minors?

ttbn,
Atrocious ! Doesn't the Law have any integrity left ?
