  It's a 50/50 split on the group of young people mentioned here. Some of them are quite happy to move on and are quite happy, polite and attending school. Many of them are attending some of the local youth clubs, of which I have heard many talk about the scheme in the discovery centre. This sort of scheme is invaluable. There are however a number who are displaying 'anti social behaviour' and some so young that social services are aware of the families. The problem is intervention is phenominally hard and expensive, essentially interfering with the negative rights of the 'individuals' involved.
  
  Social services have unfortunatly got a bad press recently, because of our blame culture, it's sad as much of the problem is funding and people puting a price on the well being of children(you only have to look at the poor state of fostering run through the private sector). Something goes wrong and we need to blame something/someone. Roger who's blaming society now? afterall social services work in interests of society...otherwise it would be 'individual sevices'
