And when it comes to the unrest part, I don't know how that gets resolved when a portion of the Roma community are championing bad parenting? Unless somehow the Leeds City Council can convince them that child neglect (if that report is true) is wrong I don't see a solution in the present.

Tbf to the Roma community though, the fact that none of the rioters didn't question why Social Services (a group that normally has it's hands tied behind it's back) is actually proceeding to take the Father's children away from him didn't twig with them that "hey, this guy might just be a bad parent."

That's the logic that the Leeds City Council have got to try and fix, because disturbingly there were probably people in Leeds that didn't riot, but secretly agreed with what the rioters were doing.

…but a drone mentality would be not considering the fabric of a community and the importance of so many considerations that would maintain…(…or in this case, again reach…)…a situation of equal trust and a solution so that what’s been happening doesn’t continue …this isn’t about personal opinions of anyone, it’s about a council addressing a volatile situation within their jurisdiction and of course they’d do that, that’s what we’d hope from our councils and to also use ‘calming language’ …

…with ‘bad parenting’ …that’s not a label or assumption that I’m going to put on anyone because I feel that I don’t know any of the circumstances of Social Services involvement…again that’s something that has to be worked out with those involved for the safety of the children …but surely to assume any bad parenting or child neglect without having depth of knowledge of a family situation is the very definition of a ‘drone mindset’…
