To ask how any non-violent child in Scotland manages to function at this point

What has happened to your dc in school?

Our school hasn't had any problem like this, its a rough area but the worst there has been are videos taken when kids are fighting. One child in eldest child's year was shockingly arrested for robbing a petrol station, but he had been expelled prior to that so he was being disciplined, it just didn't work.

My friend in England is desperate to move back here as her dd is struggling so much at school down there, but where are you that there are thugs in your classroom and nothing done because I'll tell her not to move there!

It's horrendous just now, isn't it? I keep reading about the absolute carnage in Edinburgh, with gangs of scrotes actually physically assaulting random adults, as well as the theft and criminal damage.

Even where I live, in a remote rural area, seems to have constant problems in the villages with these wee brats vandalising common areas and booting people's doors.

Fuck knows what it must be like having these unchecked sociopaths as one's peers or having to sit in a classroom with them - any decent child/teenager must be reaching adulthood with raging PTSD at this stage.

And yes absolutely it's like the worst-behaved little ferals are the Chosen Ones, and any quiet, decent kids are ignored or exhorted to Be Kind.
