am completely with you as to where are their parents and what on earth goes on (or doesn't) in these homes that allows these kids to roam the streets in the way that they have been and treating it all as some kind of fun. It all gets passed off as a problem of the state but the real issue is in the values, or lack of, of these kids and their inability to see right from wrong and that comes from home. All the reporting has covered "where are the police" - which of course has to be answered - but the feral nature of these kids beggars belief. From the video clips on news and youtube i couldn't believe how young they were and how much pleasure was being derived from the thuggery of their behaviour. Whilst some will have come into the area purely to cause violence many will have been local and every parent should be questioning where their children were last night and taking responsibility to ensure they stay in tonight and subsequent nights. I can't bear the thought of living shoulder to shoulder with these people and have my own children anywhere near near them
