LETTER: Problems start with the parents (From Lancashire Telegraph)

• "Whilst I can agree with 'spendmoneywisely', there are of course multiple factors that procure 'bad' children and in turn 'bad' adolescents and adults. Parenting is in fact a major factor, but so too is education and schooling. We (society in general) seem to have adopted a far too 'liberal' attitude toward those that either refuse to 'comply' or do not desire to. Those who play truant, take drugs or misbehave are all too often 'excused' because of their social background/religion or culture even. Those who wish to dress differently from what is considered 'normal' are now encouraged to do so without any repercussion from society whatsoever? Those who wish to partake in sexual activity that strays from the realms of 'normal' are also encouraged to do so. To make matters far worse, those that speak out are now being criminalised! If, on a trip to the zoo, amongst a herd of elephants, a young child exclaims..'Daddy look at the elephant in pink shorts scratching it's bum', then that child should not be chastised for noticing that the elephant is indeed very different from the others in the herd?"
