I have said it before and I will say it again if we caught these kids early in life (and it could be done if we trusted our nursery teachers and reception staff more) and removed them from their inadequate parents we could stop the problem before it developed, save the state a lot of money and some poor soul a lot of heartbreak
We stopped doing that in the early seventies polly and look where it has got use, up the creek without a paddle, and if anybody wants to put it right you have to climb over all the dogooders before you get anywhere near the problem, that is if you're allowed to get near it at all. The new fangled ways have failed, the softly softly approach does not work, so its time to go back to the old days where a copper clouted you round the ear, and the teached gave you the cane, and you got a good hidding if you spoke back to your parrents. There were no stabbings or shootings when we were young, so the way we were raised must have been right, and if it wasn't broke why the hell did somebody want to fix it in the first place
