This is what happens when you swap a clip around the lug or a smacked arse for the naughty step.

Bring back corporal punishment in schools, to teach children right from wrong.

Bring back Law and Order with MEANINGFUL sentencing.

Bring back Discipline in Schools.

Bring back PROPER parenting.

**** off The EU and its Human Rights claptrap.

Get Rid Of PC and try to reverse the damage that Neo-Liberal Left-Wing policies have wreaked over the last 50 years.

Bring in a proper Zero Tolerance policy on crime, not just soundbites.

SOMETHING has to be done to stop all these young lives being lost.

It’s about time there was some serious sentencing for the little thugs responsible for this type of crime rather than making constant excuses for them. Being young, poor or from a minority group - whatever- does not affect understanding of right and wrong - only a seriously low IQ does that. No more excuses - more action.

It always depresses me how people will use the death of children to push their shot sighted agenda against human rights and other unrelated issues.

It's just really ****ing gross.

You mean like the school shootings and people using them to push their agenda to scrap the 2nd ammendment?

Don't let it depress you

What, in the everloving ****, does human rights, brexit and political correctness have to do with a child being stabbed to death? How does any of that help with knife crime? The answer is, it doesn't.

Are you really going to compare that to people wanting to enforce gun controls affter mass shootings?

The first case is an example of someone using a tragedy to push their own agenda although it doesn't fit, the second is a relevant response to a tragedy.

It isn't as simple as "we should be allowed to smack our children". Bringing back an old practice in a time that has moved on from such punishments will only produce a whole new string of problems for children. I'm surprised that is what is being discussed here, though. Assuming these "youths" were all above the age of criminal responsibility, it is useless to bring up the 'blame the parents' argument.
