Since there have been no reported riots, and looting in Hyndburn.
We can therefore assume every parent in this area has done a sterling job raising their childen.
Some people have expressed an opinion, which I happen to disagree with.
It's just differing of points of view.

You've made your thoughts perfectly clear.
If you'd found out any child of your's had been involved in the recent riots and looting, you'd turn a blind eye, as far as the laws of the land are concerned.
That's your stance.
That is sad, for the hope we have for living in a decent society.
Honour amongst those without morals.
Ironic.

What are you protecting them from?
The consequences of their actions?
If we hope to live in a civilised society, teaching children that breaking the law is wrong, and will be punished, is a good lesson to learn in life.

Odd how those few who wouldn't help bring their offspring to justice, get all angry and defensive, over what they see are personal attacks....because they don't actually look at what's been written.

What 'accounts'?
Do you mean by the other numpty in this thread, who's unable to understand what's actually been written, and fails to see that posts relate to a theoretical question?
If so, twice.
If the two numpties ignored, no I haven't.
I look forward to actual proof that this is incorrect, when you submit your 'accounts' for us to check.

Re: Would you shop your kids
T'other poll on the looting is reading 80% in favour of shooting the scum on sight; this poll is reading 85% in favour of shopping their miscreant offspring.
I wonder, therefore, how many would be prepared to pull the trigger on their own brats if they walked through the door and said 'Hey Mum.....I've got you a new telly'?

Nice bit of work.. make a compilation of posts you like the look of.. to be honest I don't have the time or skills to do the same.. but I'm not so thick that I don't know the difference between a personal insult (which I'd mark down as no bother) and comments you have made on my parenting and my family... take the tat out of me all you like and I might take it one way or t'uther... but even question the morals my family.

Re: Would you shop your kids
I re-quoted a post earlier on something about 1979 because I was waiting for the usuall vitriol from some posters that would have been along the lines of "you left wing pinky ******" and such
There is an overwelming vote on here that says "Yes" some have said "no" and most have given there reasons for the way they feel.. but only two of those who voted no have had to endure accusations of being bad parents and very close to being called scum by one member...how come only two have had to take the stick?.. maybe it's the mob rule Garinda seems so keen on..
I say this in the open forum that the recent riots and lootings are the most depressing things I have ever seen in this country and to have people taking the high ground in an attempt to bully some by accusing them of parenting yobs and scum will not get us anywhere.. and it is a dead cert it won't get them anywhere with me.

Re: Would you shop your kids
Mancie, I remember you once posted that you had a wife. Besides that I don't know, nor quite honestly care, about your personal circumstances.
I presume you don't have children who are rioters and looters.
Therefore you answered a theoretical question.
An answer myself, and judging by the results of the poll, the majority of people here seem to disagree with.
Again, trying to make it very clear, so even you understand.
No one knows anything about your personal life, so no one has insulted anyones' children.
Perhaps if you read what's actually been written more carefully, hopefully you'll be less likey to jump up and down, claiming your family has been 'dissed'.
