WITH regard to your letters section on "The Untouchables", what a problem this society has by burying its head in the sand or looking the other way.

We have watched this problem spread from nothing to harassment, intimidation and a general breakdown of the local community.

If anyone should have the audacity to ring the police on this behaviour they immediately become the targets of threats of violence. Damage to property is not unusual.

When, oh when will decent people be served by the laws laid down and be protected from these little mobsters and their parents who, in most cases, are just as bad.

It appears to ourselves to be nothing but out-and-out bullying by a minority and, unless addressed properly, society will be the victim as apathy is their guardian.
