WHEN did it happen that we became scared of our kids?
At what point did adults stop ticking off badly behaved children on the street for fear of being knifed, raped, abused or reported to the police?

And how come a society that prides itself on its liberalism and its freedoms - which boasts about taking care of the weak and the vulnerable - is now so terrified of its children that it hides from them and is unable to control them because The System won't allow it?

The fact is, this Government's refusal to tackle child criminality - to accept that radical action is needed to save "devil children" like those two Doncaster boys who tortured and nearly murdered two lads from their estate - has given the green light to armies of little savages who just laugh at the law.

Evil
And they're laughing because they know that no one has the will, the guts or the power to use it against them.

This Government's limp-wristed laws and incentives have empowered children to the point where they can't be disciplined, reined-in or even told what to do.

Parents and teachers have been stripped of their right to chastise and to punish kids, which is why the feral oiks roaming our streets have no fear, no conscience and no sense of right and wrong.

These mini-criminals know that whatever they do it will always be excused (or ignored) by a government that refuses to accept some children are motivated by evil.

These are the very children who NEED decent parents - yet it's not an option for most of them, which is why they must be taken in hand and, yes, punished if need be, by a force bigger and scarier than them.

And maybe if that had happened to those two boys from Doncaster (aged just 10 and 11) then they wouldn't have ended up torturing two little lads to the point of death.

By the age of 10, those toe-rags had notched up 40 crimes between them yet the law did nothing. Social services did nothing. The police did nothing and their idiot parents did nothing.

Consequently they believed they were invincible, which is why they battered two innocent boys (aged nine and 11) with bricks, forced them to sexually abuse each other, stubbed out a cigarette on one boy's eyelid and stamped on his genitals then sliced open the arm of the other and stuck a burning cigarette into the wound.

One boy had his head stamped on so viciously he went temporarily blind.

But despite the fact these monsters danced around those bleeding boys shouting "they're not dead yet", they haven't been charged with attempted murder. They have been allowed to plead guilty to a lesser charge.

But why? Why in the face of such undiluted evil have these boys, yet again, been offered the soft option? Is that going to make them realise they've done something horribly wrong? I don't think so.

And no, it hasn't helped that they have a drug-addicted mother who sprinkled cannabis on their food to make them sleep. Which is why it was always going to be up to the social services, the police, health workers and our legal system to show these boys the way. And they've all failed - spectacularly!

And who was it who decided that "empowering" kids was a good idea? Why did we tell them they had rights, that they were our equals, that their needs were paramount? They're not.

Children, especially the bad ones, need rules, they need guidance and they need to live in a society that cares how they grow up - a society that says "enough" when they step out of line.

Cocky
Because we've all now had enough of cocky kids who know they can hurt people, scare them, damage their property, even half-kill them - safe in the knowledge that the law will look away.

Children also need to know fear, because without it they won't follow society's rules. They also need to know there are boundaries that if crossed will result in REAL punishment - NOT community service and NOT Asbos.

Those two Doncaster boys deserve to be punished - but they probably won't be. They'll be put somewhere to be "helped".

The REAL tragedy here is that at 11 years old it's already too late to save minds as warped as theirs.

And that's the fault of this unthinking, cheapskate Government that likes to be seen to throw money at education and child protection - but doesn't actually give a stuff.
