Re: How would you deal with anti-social behaviour?

I would make the parents more responsible. If 12 year old Tyron steels a car make his parents pay for it. If they can't send the child to prison send hhis parents - get him into care and give him a chance.

The vast majority of kids problems are caused by the parent/s they live with. Get vulnerable youngsters away from their home environments asap. It is in the home they learn their loutish behaviour and I am sure that if someone sat down and analysed the figures we would discover that there has been a drastic rise in anti social behaviour since the theory that children must be kept with their natural 0parents came into fashion.

Most Reception Class teachers can spot the kids that are going to be a problem after their first few weeks in school. although costly in the short term a removal policy would save a fortune in the long term.
