Posts: Joined: 1st Jan 1970 | There was another murder of a young lad in Dewsbury today. 18 years old and beaten to death in a park. The BBC were getting tastelessly excited in case it was 'racist'. The lad was Asian and the three people arrested are Asian too. Two 15 year olds and a 20 year old. I read somewhere that certain places have become virtually no-go areas for the police. How did this country slide into such a mess in so short a space of time. |

Today it is the other way round. we are scared of the kids. You are not allowed to give them a slap for fear of arrest. When I was a kid, I got a clip round the ear by a policeman for riding 2 on a push bike. When I got home, I other off my dad, the copper got there before me and told him. We were more carefull not to do anything wrong just in case. My son, who is now 40, stopped a bloke from hitting a small child in the street a few years ago. Because he hit the guy, he was charged with assault on a minor. The bloke was 16 years old, but looked 18 and nothing was done about HIM hitting a 7 year old. |

When he told us what we had to do, we did it. If we didnt say please, we didnt get it and if we didnt say thank you, he took it back. I wasnt as bad with my boys, but they grew up knowing thier manners and didnt get into any serious mischief. |

Although I don't know the events surrounding the death of a lady in the village yesterday, it seems she may well have been stabbed also and by someone close to her. However, as I say I don't know what happened and so really shouldn't comment any further, but needless to say you don't expect it to happen on your own doorstep, just so sad for all those left behind! When is this b....y Government going to get a grip of Law and Order in this Country? |

Sad, very sad! |

And unfortunately it is going to get worse before it gets any better. A couple months ago a young lad, just turned 16, in my neighborhood shot his parents and two little brothers while they slept. To the public this was a picture perfect church going family. Underneath all that we find that behind closed doors this lad had been abused and finally snapped. I believe that the family unit is the most important thing in society these days. Respecting your elders is no more. When I visit my parents I still don't touch or take anything without asking. I always consider others before myself. I am so thankful that my parents taught me values and morals. |
