It is a lack of respect. The thing is, it's also bad parenting and that's essentially where the lack of respect has come from. Man of the parents are poorly educated drop-outs who scrounged for themselves and push it onto their kids. I know parents who got their kids to steal stuff from shops for them because they couldn't do anything to the kids.

My kids will have respect and that will be brought up with correct education and also by giving smacks to keep them in line. I got a smack when I was bad as a kid and it's definitely the right thing to do.

(When I say hit I don't mean punch, I mean smacked behind etc)

See this is what the papers tend to say, and it's just making parents scared to smack. They're doing as much damage as a smacking ban would. There's no ban on smacking in the home - it's entirely legal. You can't leave a mark, but I can't really see a child needing much more than a smack anyway, which shouldn't cause any damage.
The debate about whether to smack will go on, but it's certainly not illegal to do so.

Tis shocking stuff :/

There's a lot of kids out there who are good eggs still, but they get tarnished by groups of morons. It's all about the upbringing in my opinion - I think it's wrong to blame a kid for being like they are. After working with troubled kiddies at a school you could see how much an affect their home lives had on their personality and behviours. I mean, telling a parent that their child has been didderling in drugs at school and that their behaviour is unruly and hygiene is beyond neglected... is kind of pointless when they're rude back to you, sat there in their torn jogging bottoms and dealing in drugs too. Also, when asking kids "so what do you think you'd like to go in to career wise when you finish school" and hearing them say "Nuffink. My Mum does nuffink and she has loads of time and money and a free house. I just wanna have kids" is like zomgwtf. It's so sad.

This wasn't a constant at my school btw. There were some parents who, despite being in terrible situations, bent over backwards to do what they could so their kiddies didn't end up the same. A number of them are little stars just waiting to shine

Good news!

Boo to pants parenting I say.
