8)  Would tend to agree but only if these kids are actually made to do the training schemes and not dossing on the streets. I reckon we have at least 3 kids in my area who would benefit from this. They are truants on a regular basis, they hang around the back alleys setting fire to things. Their parents couldn't care less, as they are either drunk or in prison, or working. Our community warden catches them regularly up to no good, and all our elderly citizens round here are terrified of them. If they were working a 40 hour week and learning a trade they would be too tired to be causing trouble ;D

That's just my opinion though, as these kids are the minority.
