Common Sense


The BBC tells us that "Home Secretary Jacqui Smith says it is unacceptable for parents not to know what their children are up to at night. " Well few would disagree. So let's do something about it. Any under 16 (or a 16 year old still in compulsory education) who is out without a responsible after 10pm is taken home and parents get a £80 fine. No flim flam - do it to everyone. Double it to £16o if they are out and have alcohol with them. I for one get a bit fed up of teaching hung-over children.
Last month I asked a 15 year old why she looked so tired on a Wednesday morning. The answer - she was still drunk from the night before.
