Add to this the other similar problem, the number of sectioned mental health patients who walk out unhindered from their secure units on a daily basis across the UK! Just as bad! These other agencies fail to do their job then simply fill out a form and pick up the phone and it becomes the police's problem.

What do I mean? I wonder what the response to disruptive behaviour, assault and absconding is. Is it depriving them of something? Is it any form of punishment? No, they'll be given a new Ipod or trainers, taken out to events, given free holidays - because the poor dears need more attention FFS<br /><br />I am friends with a foster carer for a seriously aggressive and disruptive young lad. He has a family history that beggars belief, but he knows what he is doing and 'plays' the system. He has more spent on him in one week than I can afford to spend on myself, working full time (new clothes whenever he wants, taxi's to and from school, trips out every week, trips away every month,...). What incentive does he have to act normally? None.<br /><br />His sister, homed coincidentally in a care home in Lancashire, absconds regularly to go socialising (sometimes twice a day, and don't the social workers look really clever calling the police 5 minutes after she was returned to the home by them?). The result, she's off for a holiday in Florida this year with all the trimmings.<br /><br />The thing is, others have seen what he gets and, guess what? Yep, they've all started acting up. They may be young, but stupid they're not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-9990600531301441712012-01-11T12:53:38.777+00:002012-01-11T12:53:38.777+00:00Forgot to add that we don't need to demonise t...Forgot to add that we don't <i>need</i> to demonise the little bastards...they do that just fine all by themselves.Tattyfalarrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-74728609756040570552012-01-11T12:52:00.503+00:002012-01-11T12:52:00.503+00:00"And in 2008, 13-year-old Jamie Smith, who ab..."<i>And in 2008, 13-year-old Jamie Smith, who absconded from the Higher Cockham Farm home in Haslingden, <b>was jailed for 13 years after he pushed a man into a bonfire in Birkenhead</b></i>.<br /><br />This happened not a million miles away from me...and there's a bit more to it than that...the little bastard robbed and murdered a grown man. <br /><br />More info if interested:<br /> "http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-news/regional-news/2008/02/26/13-year-old-pleads-guilty-to-bonfire-murder-92534-20526734/<br /><br />Bitter irony was that "<i><b>Youth worker</b> Mrs Croft, of Birkenhead, was celebrating her 53rd birthday when police arrived at her office to say her son was dead.</i>Tattyfalarrnoreply@blogger.com
