That is very very true!!
Last week my kids were playing out in the garden when a community warden came talking to them.
My kids asked about the " free tickets for bowling and cinema " they were dishing out round the neighborhood. The warden said " well usually we give them to the bad boys and girls to get them off the streets during the school holidays, but I will see what I can do about getting you 2 boys some " and took their names and addresses.
Now I'm sorry, but who are the winners here?? My kids have never been in the slightest bit in trouble with the police!! (( and hopefully would never dare )) so they don't get any treats for being good, but then they hear off the wardens that only ' NAUGHTY BOYS AND GIRLS ' get them usually.
What kind of a lesson is that??
I do feel sorry for the kids that are good, never get into trouble with the police and never anti social around the neighborhoods.........where's is their recognition for this??
