why do people keep going on about 'giving them a clip round ear' or drag them home?
In ten years time when my kids are out, if ANYONE dragged my child home or give them 'a clip' id go mad....i was brought up getting absolutly battered if i did anything wrong and it mad me worse...the only good thing about it is i hardened so when i did go into care i was 'cock' of the place cos anyone could punch me i didn't even sway!!
If my kids did cause problems in the future i would want them to come and tell me, or a letter thru door...NO ONE has the right to touch my kids any way or form. i live in plattbridge i have lived in marshgreen/worsley hall and hindley...and i have had problems with teenagers, but you know i went out and spoke to them didnt moan and groan...just spoke and every time its worked.
Im 30 and when i was 8 i phoned the police because my mum broke my nose it was still bleeding when the police arrived...i was told it was a domestic matter and couldnt get involved!! then i got another good hiding because i brought the police to her door....that is NOT a way to bring a child up no matter how bad they have been.
Thankfully times have changed due to the child protection act of 1989, but they have taken it too far, even when i was a 'bad un' i knew the police couldnt do owt cos i was under 16...im not saying they should all be locked up cos i learnt more crimes in care than id like to mention, so it can make you worse.....somethin needs to be put in place where gangs need to see the affects of what they do wrong, or the robber having to get work and go to the victims house every week with a percentage of their wage to give them.
Violence should be stopped in ALL cases, and i do include youths as well....the biggest problem we have is the law saying we are not crimminally responsible until we are 12, my daughters are 6 and 7 and KNOW the basic rights and wrongs, but if my daughter went and smacked another 7 year old with a brick, they couldnt do owt because they under age, and if i was a mum that didnt care that child would get away it!!
thats what needs sorting, children need to be made accountable for they do.
