The post you are reporting:
Good posting Sue, but sorry to hear about those problems in River; presumably the Police weren't in attendance ?
It may be too much of a presumption, but do you know if they were drunk/had been drinking ? If so, someone must be buying it for them, or some off-licence selling to them.
A bold person it would be, to buy the lease on a property in Dover and run it as an internet cafe, but it might just work.
We need to know what they want, not just supply them with what we think they want; if we don't, they'll just destroy whatever they are given.
To my mind, most of our problems emanate from those parents who don't say NO to their children when they are very young - they then grow up with no one saying no to them and so demand and get, whatever they want so when they are adolescents and older, they are running wild, doing exactly what they want and woe betide anyone who (tries to) stands up to them.
Has anyone seen the black and white film "Lord of the Flies" - about children who are on a desert island without any adults ? very soon they become ferral - just like many kids of today - simply because we have abdicated our responsibility and because parents have been told not to say no, nor smack them (and I'm not talking about beatings, just in case someone was going to go down that road).
An old saying springs to mind "you have to be cruel to be kind" - and that's what we are not doing or being.
