What's happening in our society? Years ago we used to get children knocking on our doors with sponges and buckets to wash cars and earn a bit of pocket money. But now all we get is a load of thugs who would rather put your car window through or graffiti on your fence.

I see kids roaming the streets in groups, shouting abuse, throwing litter, stealing. It seems to me like none of them have a home to go to as they are out to all hours of the night.

We're not allowed to say or do anything as we're the ones in the wrong. It parents don't start to discipline their kids and let them know who's in charge our society will be full of unemployed yobs.
