Why are parents not being jailed for this, its as much their fault as those children who did the act. Pure bad parenting is to blame IMO!

I do feel that parents need to be held more responsible than they currently are. However, in this case (without knowing any facts and going in completely blind so no doubt this will be very contentious), I would advocate taking the older boys into care as I don't believe that they have a safe home environment.

When my kids are praised for being polite, plesent, proper good kids i hold my head up and am proud because its by my guidence that they have been taught all these things by me! Same is to be said about kids who are ill mannered and badly rared. They got that way at home, looking at their parents, siblings and immidate family with who they have been rared with. Teachers have not taught them these things. playground has not taught them these things. Where do you think they have had access to this kind of behaviour? Wake up people!
