Can I just say?

That my heart goes out to all those families living in and around the areas hit by riots. I hope you all come out of unscathed and your children do not have to experience any of it first hand.

And I hope any parents living in the affected areas know where their children are tonight. When kids as young as 11 are joining in the bunfight, there's something really badly wrong.

The headline on todays Sun says kids as young as 7....................
I commented to my 9yo that I couldnt understand how a parent could let their child out to be involved in stuff like this - he said maybe the parents are chucking stuff too :(

Awful awful
Big unmumsnet hug to anyone personally affected by all this.
Im in rural nowhere but am crying :(

Am thinking of all of those affected. Please stay safe. Very very sad days. I love London...my city.

Bastards.

Ditto.

Laura - news today said that a policeman had seen rioters entering Argos, followed by mums with kids helping themselves to stuff.
