I don't get that, one minute kids will be effected in later life if they are smacked, next thing it's thier problem if they do something wrong.
What made this gang of youths so homophobic that they would spray pepper spray in a couples eyes?

Plenty of people go through terrible trauma that would break a person and they don't become abusers or racists or homophobes or whatever. To use that as an excuse is to insult those who have suffered trauma. Even people raised surrounded by bigotry can't blame their upbringing and I speak from experience. Blaming society, upbringing, trauma, it's all excuses to justify hatred. So many of us have suffered from these things yet we don't become fuelled by hatred and violence.
The gang in question have no one to blame but themselves.
