13-yr-old gets three-year detention for rape

sorry abt my essays i’ll shush now lol

There have been some good opinions expressed on this thread. When I read the newspaper today, my initial thoughts were (expecially on the back of the Doncaster boys) that may be should should re-open remand homes and borstals. They were closed down because they ran on corporal punishment and fear. They did scar young men, but they also saved a fair few. But I do not think that would solve the problems we seem to have with our society.

I read something today… it said…. follow the three R’s:
Respect for yourself
Respect for others
Responsibility for your own actions

Empathy and the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes is something you would hope everyone is born with. Yet psychopaths cannot feel empathy .. and they do not have a social conscience but live out their lives with themselves at the centre of their universe. Are these children social psycopaths? If they are, then some of them will have been born with that tendency and some may have become that way through a childhood that destroyed them.

In all three cases that have been in the papers this week, of children who have behaved in the most evil way imaginable, all of them have lost their childhoods. And it is society as a whole that is to blame. You cannot purely blame the social services for having failed them, although they did, and you cannot purely blame the parents, although they too played their part. The reason they did what they did is probably because they were not thinking of the consequences, and because the people that were their victims were not real people to them.

It is very very sad, and something needs to be done, but it has been a long time since Jamie Bulger and yet things of this nature are still happening. Do we need more social services, more community policing? Do we need to give parenting classes to people who are struggling? Do we take children away from alcoholics and drug users? What is the answer?
