...but some young people haven’t learned it by now..they might not have had a responsible parent or adult in their lives to have given that talking to about being a human being with human values...and that’s the thing... that’s a role that a community police officer had when there were such things...to sit them right down and give that talking to if it was felt it was needed...and also to try to direct those nasty whatever’s in other focuses of helping a community...hence ‘prevent’ being a huge priority for me in funding application...it just may have prevented this lady having had to experience this awful thing...maybe it wouldn’t have..?...but it possibly could have while also building moral values into young people who have not had someone to sit them down in their lives...


...I don’t excuse...I’m going to make that very clear...I do not excuse their behaviour which is why if prevention of that behaviour and those mindsets and morals is possible, is changeable in any way...that’s a path to be looked at with more funding...
