Hi Everyone, I have just been reading your comments about the constant pressure of the media on the Royal Family. I wonder what they feel about it? I know that I would hate to have to watch everything I do and say in case a camera records it without me knowing. I also found your thoughts on the treatment of juvenile criminals interesting. I think the Police do as much as they can to prevent crime but I know teachers really valued a Police in Schools Program that was around about 10 years ago. Funding for the program stopped and I think that this was a backward step. Everyone should have an opportunity to see that the Police force is there to support and prevent as well as deal with the consequences of irresponsible or criminal behaviour. I don’t believe young people should be punished as much as I believe young people should receive education to help them move away from poor behaviours. I think boot camp that teaches social skills and team work is a better option than jail!
