Now the bad kids are worse and the ones that are more mischeif makers than bad are worse simply because they know they can do it and get away with It.

This is the whole heart of the problem with kids and adults. You get the ones who say that those in authority should earn their respect and yet they expect to be respected no matter how they behave. And they do so because as you say Anne they know they can get away with it.

Did you see on the news the farmer who reported burglars but no police were available to investigate? He went on the local radio and mentioned that he had a shotgun (what farmer hasn't?) and police turned up to confiscate it. The burglars appear to have more rights than th burgled.
