i cant believe how many irrelevant comments are being made on this page... THIS YOUNG MAN WAS SOMEBODYS SON, A BROTHER, A FRIEND AND NOW ANOTHER STATISTIC. Do you really believe this situation is going to get better unless the goverment has a long hard think about the cuts it is about to make?? yeah great idea Tories, lets remove the playgrounds, lets take away after school clubs, sports activities, lets slash funding from anyone and everyone thats trying to help young people engage and enjoy a normal way of life, lets just stop re-producing right now because slowly slowly WE are killing our own future. We think its bad now? Give it another 5 years and the results will be horrific. The Victim... You may think that because your child is tucked up safely in bed, because your child has a private education and can play the piano it does NOT for one second mean your child is safe... At least 35% of the chldren stabbed/shot in the last few years have been innocent victims in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Offender... You may think that the young offenders behaviour is completely in-excusable and i agree, there is absolutley no reason to take anothers life BUT these young people feel they have reason and maybe if i was from a broken, poverty stricken home where sexual abuse and violence was an EVERY-DAY occurance, having to steal in order to eat, no one believing in you, No Hope, then im sure i would feel like a had reason... And 75% of these young offenders do suffer on a daily basis, they're not taught Right from Wrong like we were as children, they're set boundries like we are, they feel they dont stand a chance and if we dont reach out soon our OWN children will NOT stand a chance.
