I've been thinking alot about this today. I've got 3DC and I've brought them up to respect other people, share, not to hurt people or steal etc.
I'm now thinking if the police lost control and those people rioting took over my kids would have no chance.
Survival of the fittest....well my kids wouldn't survive because they aren't streetwise. I work with alot of very streetwise kids who have been taught by their parents to behave in the way these people are on the news.
My nearly 6 year old was telling me earlier that it was ok because the police would get all the baddies and put them in prison. I agreed with him and reassured him it would all be ok. Secretly I wonder because in the real world I know that the morals and values I've tried to instill in my children probably mean that should there be complete anarchy they would be toast.
