Children And How They Are Brought Up.

[Von Smallhausen]

Someone I know works for the NHS as a nurse in a children's ward.

I was told an interesting story when a young female child was admitted with an ailment and had her parents with her, described as ' chavs ' who did not work, seemingly had no intention of working and looked the part complete with with formerly desirable sportswear.

Anyway, the person I know saw the father with his daughter in the ward room and a police car was heard nearby with the sirens wailing.

The father asked the child what that noise was ad the child, about 3 years old, said ' Nee nar pigs. ' Basically the sound heard and who was in the car. This was met with laughter and praise from the father.

To add a flip side, my dad was a bit of a ' lad ' when he was younger although he died 6 years ago. He was beer and fight man during his younger days who was no fan of the police yet he was a good man at the same time and brought me and my siblings up well and wouldn't stand for any disrespect shown to others. His dislike of the police was never passed onto me by him. He also didn't blink when I said I was applying for the cops and indeed was very supportive, even paying 2 grand for me to get short sightedness corrected as my vision beforehand did not meet the requirements needed.

It seems to me that he is priming her to follow in her footsteps as one of societies takers and not a contributor although I hope I am wrong.

I would be interested in peoples' thoughts on this. Is it right that someone should effectively brainwash a child at such a young age to dislike the police or the authorities ?
