England is way out in front of the US on this score, but when you do the following:
Allow liberalism, the disease, to govern all you do,
Kick God (only the Christian one) out of the public square,
Tell parents that they can not discipline their child,
Foolishly treat kids as adults in all phases of life,
Set low goals and fail to acheive academically,
and more
Then this is what you get...lots of little criminals who do not know what respect for authroity is let alone respect for their fellow citizen.
This story is from Australia not England. The OP has rather confusingly given it a UK tag.

Spot on - in England, adults are afraid of youngsters. They have lost control of their children long ago and as a result have lost control of their country.
