"What a stupid thing to say. No miscarriage is anything like the pain"
Patronising - moi?
I was referring to Lizzie'sd 'Mary POPINs type examples.
"I was discussing this case, not 'all juvenile crime'"
Can you do that - make one crime not applicable to an age limit and all the others applicable?
"it's about protecting society from dangerous nutters."
If someone is a dangerous nutter the last thing you do is bang him up with hardened criminals - he is hospitalised and attempts are made to cure him.
Presumably these children have been mentally assessed and declared sane enough to walk among us - if not, and they are a danger to the public then presumably they would have been sanctioned.
All this sounds very much like gross amateurs telling the professionals how to go about their business - pretty similar to putting our justice system in the hands ofthe Sun and The Daily Mail I'd say.
Put it another way - one of the childish pastimes over the last few years has been dropping stones from motorway bridges.
One group of little darlings dragged a log across the Clapham - Earlsfield railway line - potentially causing massive death and injury had a train struck it - hanging, drawing and quatering or what - and please include members of your own family before you venture an answer.
