Good point MMJ

FiveFingeredFiend · 27/04/2007 10:17

I pity the boy. I really do. The poor poor child has no parents that love him ovbiously.

a 3 yr old should not be out on his own like that. this tells you all you need to know about his upbringing to date! i too blame the parents. it sounds like he's being dragged up.

parenting classes are a good plan, i hope the parents WANT to improve and can accept their mistakes. it's not too late for them to turn that kid around.

How sad What chance does he have withthis start.

These two phrases say it all for me:

After hearing the conditions of the two-year order, he whimpered to magistrates: "Sorry."

...

Kevin Skelton, Anthony's headteacher at Ravensworth Primary School, said the boy responded positively to discipline.

He added: "Anthony at school is clearly a very different young man to the one who roams the streets of South Bank."

...

His father has been given a parenting order. No comment from either mum (not mentioned at all) or dad. It is they who have caused this - letting a 3yo out alone to begin with.

MamaG · 27/04/2007 10:28

Exactly. The people to blame here are his parents/parent. They are responsible for teh boy he is today and its so sad that his future looks so bleak.

Its heartbreaking, really.

I'm a paralegal and we often act for children in care, the stories are horrific, I regularly go home utterly wiped out, suggesting we adopt families of 5!

I suspect the asbo is there to try and make his parents do something. At the very least keep him inside within certain hours. Maybe trying to make them think a bit more.

The child needs some proper looking after. Seems at school that he responds pretty well to discipline, so his parents need to start acting like parents now!

MamaG · 27/04/2007 10:32

TBH I think social services will keep a very close eye on this family.

Porcupine · 27/04/2007 10:35

It shouldn't be in the papers.

Porcupine · 27/04/2007 12:12

i agree

FiveFingeredFiend · 27/04/2007 15:53

I think his father should be in the paper, menacing photo to boot.

what would the Mirror headline be?

DAD gone BAD
son in asbo shocker

juuule · 27/04/2007 16:52

I agree it shouldn't be in the papers.

TwoIfBySea · 27/04/2007 20:47

I hate the idea of children like this, he is such a poor soul and is obviously desperately in need of someone who gives a sh*t about him. If he has been doing this from the age of 3 why have the parents not been held accountable.

If ever there was a cry for help. I just hope someone hears it and he doesn't end up being a career criminal.
