I haven't seen a T.V. Programme or a materialistic celebrity, suggesting or promoting the rape of an eight year old by two ten year olds, that is a ridiculous statement.
If a generation is to blame, which one? As part of the older generation can I suggest it could be us? We brought up the generation that followed, some claim that generation don't make fit parents and therefore this is one of the results, perhaps what is happening is because we didn't do it right?
Parts of Society are to blame not just the people of any age that commit such awful crimes, but the members of the establishment that took away the powers of the courts to punish such crimes.
I agree, we have earned this by neglect, but the 8 year old and to some extent the 10 year olds are victims of that neglect and it should make us all bow our heads in shame that such a thing has happened, (again?).
