Indeed, but we should all remember that for every really rare case like this there are literally thousands upon thousands of good kids, doing all the things that good kids do.
I can't remember the really scary stats on the number of children who are actually sole carers for their unwell parents - but I'm sure it far more than the number of kids who are lawbreakers or antisocial little b*gg*rs.

I know your right but what is the world coming to? Society as a whole has let these children down due to poor housing, opportunities, parenting, low hopes and aspirations and social deprivation. That's what they are children with guns for god's sake! It just upsets me as they are not born like that.

I am sick of hearing about kids getting stabbed and shot. I hate this country - everything is completely WRONG. Nothing is dealt with properly, laws are broken, criminals lets out to cause more trouble.

Bring back hanging... thats what I say.

I agree with all except the hanging unless it's for their parents, because really that's all it boils down to POOR PARENTING (none (well it's very rare) of the children responsible for such horrendous crimes in society are from good homes)

All you excellent parents should be very proud of yourselves that you have instilled respect, dignity, morals, manners and responsibility into your children. Well done to all of you. This is the next generation of people that I would like to inherit the earth

When I meant bring back hanging, I meant for adults that commit the worst crimes, with 100% DNA proof it was them.

Children should be dealt with, of course, but in another way. Maybe the parents of kids that kill should be imprisoned.. that will teach them to be better parents.

It's time parents DID take the bulk of the responsibility instead of trying to pass the buck onto 'society' in general.

I'm sick of hearing it's the government; local and national, those in employment, businesses, schools that are responsible for these hideous kids and their unacceptable behaviour. Whereas in reality it's just laziness, apathy and ignorance of the parents that is 100% at fault.

There is NO social responsibility or manners instilled into these children that feel they ae just able to lash out at whatever/whoever happens to annoy them.

Edit to say, an 11 year old should not EVER be at risk of being targeted in such a way - not even by other 11 year olds!!

I agree with you entirley Yola. It is everyone else being blamed and that way the real root of the problem is ignored, the parents, I don't know if people are afraid to address them or they think it's not worth it so they try everything else!
I must admit I am quite direct with the parents that I work with, once a relationship has been established, in getting them to accept their responsibilities. there are some however who don't want to know, but for the small percentage it's worth it I suppose

And what were the teenagers doing with a gun? I thought you had very strict gun laws in the K, unlike us...
