16:4778105It seems that the topic got out of hand: I was referring to verbal harasment and acts of disrespect that are not easily identifiable as criminal, and thus was my proposal that teaching children, and teaching them again, and giving particular attention to children responsible for bullying, is the best solution, and that many sectors of society could participate in this in their various competences.
Of-course, if the topic is about violence and serious violence, it's a different matter, and the police MUST intervene. But may-be one could ask if such violence doesn'y come from previous unchecked misbehaviours, that went on and on and got worse!
I did mention in a downtrodden thread of mine recently that the Strathclyde Police are going to increase their members on active duty among the public by five times, and that notwithstanding the disgusting spending cuts that Gov. announced! Among their objectives is to treat bullying of woman by their husbands/partners with no tea and buscuit approach, but with a strong hand!
The thread didn't get much acclamation, but may-be with after-thought one can see now that it was the fruit of an attentive eye, also in regards to a no-tollerance approach to violent bullying!
So, Jan, may-be I could turn the tables around now and say: no-one cared! Of-course I won't!

Howard - you are spot on - prisons are over-stuffed with people who are a social irritant and need punishment (and some who need some rehab) but who could be better managed outside on a payback system, leaving prisons for those who are a real and present danger.

16:5578108Not to forget, Bern, that some hob-nailed boot discipline and comradeship, with cross-country marching every morning at 7 o'clock from Monday to Fryday for young cadets -boys and girls - would do wonders to harmonise children into a civilised world. Respect and tollerance - and discipline - would be high on the agenda.
But then the softies from the quangoes might chime in and forbid it all, calling it 'cruelty to children'.

17:5678116Is this all new to our current way of life, or a continuation of something that`s been going on for years and then occasionally pop`s up as a news story? We`re 50 years into the future from where I experienced and saw much bullying in schools, and it still goes on. It`s totally unacceptable in our life today, yet sadly, I feel it`ll be part of our lives for many years to come yet. And no, I haven`t got an answer for it.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

this cross country marching every morning at 7 wearing hob nailed boots, would they play the bagpipes while they do so?
if so, could you ask them not to go past my place.

18:4278125The children would be marching across Western Heights. Yes, blowpipes, that are the loudest pipes, which can be heard far and wide.
