Good news that this problem has been highlighted, many of us have had the pleasure of drunkard kids on the street, but do u think that prosecuting parents will work on those that will get alcohol from somewhere else - even dodgey shops, credit in a lot of cases these kids parents probably dont give a crap where there kids are or what they are doing - but there'll be a good handful of those parents that have been lied to or innocently dont think there is a problem & are safe, ie sleepovers. Also do some actually care if their parents are prosecuted???
I agree with you Accymel i don't think the parents do give a crap what their kids are doing. Our neighbours have a sixteen year old son and they let him do what ever he wants. On a regular bases i have seen him come home with his mates with trays of lager from god knows where and getting absolultley bladdered, to the point were him and his mates are vomiting out in the street. I think his parents should be prosecuted, but would it really do any good. I think not.
