its just the same as asbos the govenment made a huge fuss about asbos and over night it became trendy to have an asbo
if the govenment truely wanted to deter carring and using a knife they should not put pictures of victims on the net they should put pictures of people caught doing the crime in cells serving 20 years
i bet we will see large rise in knife crime now thet the govenment has gloryfied it
i hope the police do somthing about this kid thats threatening folk with a knife

Sometimes you talk sense Accyman .. took the words from me mouth.
Bernie ... little twerp eh ? We are trying to encourage them to walk, catch buses, getting them out of the cotton wool situation, and this type of thing happens. Can only hope the offender's mum supported your daughter and gave him loads of ear-ache, but not a certainty these days unfortunately.
Little bit on the news just now, to charge parents and make them more responsible for their children's crimes/behaviour .. hope this will be enforced soon.
