That's a scary link there Lampman. I do know parents who have no idea where their children are when they are out with their mates. I am not talking about just teens here, but younger children too. I don't know if the situation is worse today than it was with the teddy boys, rockers etc, as I don't remember that era. I would say that it seems to be worse than the punks/skins/goths gangs who were around when I was a teenager. I used to frequent the same places as some of these people and still see them now. To my recollection it was rare for anyone to carry a weopon (gun/knife etc) but a Doc Martin used to hurt like hell when kicked by one..
