I blame the parents for not giving a fuck and letting em run riot as do as they please, with no recrimination for their actions.

But I also blame the government for forcing some of the parents to be this way - you can't even smack your own kid for fear of being arrested and charged with abuse FFS - I got a fair few smacks when I was a nipper and it never did me any harm I'll say. And when I have kids and they step out of line, they'll get a smack aswell - and I don't give a fuck about the "abuse" law.....
