Not good.....

[crockers]

Parents have the power to influence their children

Parents have the power to teach them right from wrong

BUT.......

NOT when the child is a teenager

Those very first few years of a childs life is when this development is needed.

Spoil the child, give it everything, let it play in a nursery where it caqn take what it wants, when it wants and how it wants will not give a foundation on which to learn how to behave.

This unfortunate young boy had allegedly been arrested previously for driving a motor vehicle but did not see the need to cease doing what they wanted, when they wanted.

A tragic loss of life and thank god no innocent party was involved...... If there was then we would once more being going into a feeding frenzy regarding police persuits and are they necessary.

John - this could easily lead into a nature v nurture debate. I agree with you that the early formative years are the most important - but some kids the nature will come through and some are just "born bad".

I'm sure you are right and that is a terrifying thought

You crack a wooden spoon on their head and when you get out of prison you crack a wooden spoon on their head.

Parents just need to be more upfront and thumb their noses at the law.
