Bollocks.
YOU have no idea.
Your husband is a headmaster of a primary school.
That does not mske you an expert on the lives of black youths in the city.
I have four black boys and the moment they achieve any independence they are subject to horrendous pressure from outside influences. I can do all I can, like the families o the majority of kids round here. But I cannot guarantee that none of my boys will be involved in gang activity. I can hope and pray he don't.
You cannot possibly understand
Because if you did, you wouldn't be saying the things you are
And your DP shouldn't be talking to his wife about confidential matters. If he thinks the issue is as simple as he is telling you, he shouldn't be in the job.
I have lost a child. A beautiful innocent child. When I see the faces of the parents who have lost their 'bad' boys I see the same grief, the same agony as I feel.
I feel nothing horror at th loss of yet another young life. Echo are you to say that a year down the line that young boy might have found his feet and got himself together?
You know who caused me the most trouble? The spoilt, entitled, indulged and bounderyless middle class kids who my ds fell in with.
There was us trying to kep him safe and their parent's laid back attitude to drinking, drugs and under age sex made our job as hard as hell.
Difference was those kids had parents who could whisk tem away when things got hot, pay for abortions, send them out of the area, bail them out etc.
But who gets the blame for the world's ills?
Mothers of black boys.
