Gangs of feral youths are rampaging in cities around the country, a senior police officer investigating an attack by a teenage gang has warned.
"I have spoken to parents who are unconcerned that their 14-year-old child has been arrested for a serious assault or robbery. But they are concerned that they might lose their house."

The attack - on the day after Tony Blair unveiled attempts to force teenage yobs off street corners and restore 'respect' in society - was witnessed by Mr Carroll's brother John.

The hooded teenage grotesques are 'Shirley's Grandchildren'. They are the result, or partial result, of Mrs Shirley

Don don't believe everything you read in the Daily Mail - I live in Meersbrook and most of the kids skate board on the carparks. They're cool and I have a lot of respect for them. They will probably grow up and start drinking in the Broady and go to town every now and then and moan about how kids were never as cheeky to adults in their day. Hopefully, the difference will be, they won't have the media getting hysterical about the 'crazy' younguns. The media will have probably moved on to a new target and we'll all be up in arms about 'corned beef'.
The kids are cool, except for one or two nobheads - but hey adults are exactly the same!!!:D

There are some good kids and some bad, and always has been.

I think its a bit dangerous to start tarring them all with the same brush.
