I totally agree with you that it is human nature. It is also human fact that kids need guidelines to point them in the right direction. I am sure I could have been a lot worse if it wasn’t for my parents, police and school showing me the errors of my ways if I should happen to overstepped the mark. And here lies the problem. Kids had boundaries back then and if they stepped over the line they knew the consequences of their action; there are no consequences for their actions nowadays.
It shouldn't be an excuse or an answer to say that there used to be anti-social behaviour in the past; so what? At least it was dealt with then and strictly. It is a bit like saying murder has always gone on so we should accept it; no we don’t accept it, we fight it with every means we’ve got.
Looks like I'll have to go delvinbg in the PRO again.
kids have boundaries today. Your basket swinging tot is a case in point.
