Just ‘breeding hutches’ for state kept children who will do exactly the same as soon a they hit puberty.
Stop paying people to have children, THEN and only then, will wanted, loved and cared for children be born and society would be a little nicer for all.
Lol your clearly that rich kid who got away with everything ha to think all the worlds anti social behaviour derives from a child’s upbringing; yes can have an affect but my mums a lying cheat and a thief but I’m not and I know plenty who have had tough upbringing who are really decent people. Perhaps if people didn’t blindly impose their fear and hate onto others, society might function more objectively rendering what nonsense you could ever muster up, mute. Breeding hutches Haha hoistered by your own petard
What an ignorant comment. Money and social status has very little to do with how a child might be brought up. Often wealthier families manage to drag up the worst sort of humans. You are an absolute cretin of the highest order.
Name and shame the bully hopefully he get what’s coming to him big John not happy
