Young psycho's in the making........how long before they get released and given new identities along with a new life in Australia ??

 

Just my view here, but ?

 

Nature, nurture, plus an individual character's prepensity for evil.

Couple this with a no blame, and a no real punishment culture, (esp at the lower levels of criminatlity, which is where it really matters!), and this is what you get....expect more!!!

I fear for the future.

 

Alan..........................

This is absolutely disgusting behaviour, reminds me of the Jamie Bulger case.

My girlfriend has a ten year old and although he is generally good, im the one who has to enforce some discipline as she is too soft, there in lies the problem with alot of kids today, the parents, school etc, dont enforce any punishment, let them get away with so much, that i wouldnt have dared do at that age.

My old man was a prison officer and if we did wrong we got the belt and after a few of them we didnt do it again.

 

Im not condoning hitting kids, but there has to be a certain deterrent put in place or they just dont give a damn.

 

I tell mine, the reason i buy you stuff, is so i can take it away as punishment, makes him think lol

Agreed, and in this case it is most definitely the fault of the parents, I have it on good authority that the abuse suffered by these kinds (both physical and psychological) at the hands of adults who should be looking after them and turning them into respectable members of our society was horrific.

So even though they were beaten regularly it was for the wrong reasons and only helped to create the monsters that they are today.

I doubt that people with this level unacceptable social behaviour (so deeply entrenched in their minds) can ever be rehabilitated/cured……… maybe termination of both them and the people responsible for their situation would be the kindest thing……
