General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
My worry is kids being raised by addicts, they aren't being set a good example at an early age and can go on to live that kind of life themselves. Both my parents worked hard, yet my mum was there before I went to school and when I came home.We had a good example set.
They are jailing addicts for theiving yet the dealers are making a mint out of peoples misery. They should deal with dealers first, take away the supply and addicts will be forced to seek help.
Lighter sentencing won't work, its an addiction they are dealing with. I'd prefer a longer sentence, somewhere away from drugs, secure and rehab all included.We have a generation thats being ruined at the moment cos of light sentencing, and that generation is raising the next.What hope is there?
You have to give an addict something that will give them a greater high than the one they get chemically.Getting decent help, getting them clean and getting them educated would be a start. Letting them off the hook is a joke.
