Very wise advice, Leonard. It is too easy to blame the parents when children do something wrong. There has been a major increase in crime by children and youth in Australia recently, car theft involving death, stabbings, break ins with violence etc. In most cases the kids have been as young as 12 and virtually getting away with it because they are minors. The Government is in the process of introducing tougher penalties.

If they are old enough to do the crime, they are old enough to answer for their actions.
