( I wonder why that is .... could it be because of all the pain and devastation they cause, not to mention all the hurt they cause their family and friends)

(Most disabled children are never right as rain, and it is not their fault... the people that take drugs know full well what they are doing and what the end result will be)

Be it drug dealers or drug users there needs to be more punishment put into place... not excuses Oh he's from a broken home, there is nothing to do etc...

Not enough things for kids to do in general.... which planet are you on: I could name loads of venues where ( kids in general can go ) youth clubs, skate parks etc.... but I can only name three for disabled children.... even the sports centre is not disabled friendly.... there is no specific disabled changing room



At least the disabled ones tend to be kept indoors and safe by their parents,

Why do you think that is..... because there is nothing else for them to do. ( disabled ones )

so keep the disabled ones in and let the complete thugs out so they can start on the down hill street to drug use.... THESE SO CALLED KIDS KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG.... only when caught they get nice treats and no punishment... oh we could supply them with a nice new centre so they can learn more about their hobbies ( drugs and booze ) and meet their mates...


whilst the others are kicked out for the evening to entertain themselves.

There are enough events and venues around the town for kids to find entertainment...
The things is for a lot of kids, entertainment is DRUG USE and ALCOHOL ABUSE.....

You forgot to leave out STUPID:


I agree money should be pumped into helping ALL children, which would include the disabled ones,

I think you will find most of the money in the pot hardly ever finds it way to helping disabled children:


and hopefully that would help solve the ever growing drugs issue, or at least decrease the numbers of young drug users.

It is about time... that law abiding good people got some credit and services.... the drug addicts do not give a toss, so why should we:
