Clearly, he fails to understand how wretched and undisciplined are our children's homes in the UK. I have spoken to workers who have HORROR tales to tell of feral children developing against a backcloth of drugtaking, pimps and street-wandering in the early hours.What is more, those choosing to walk out at 1-30 am are allowed to do so as no physical restraints may be employed.
Not all are this bad - many are.
The other problem is that to stem the kind of abuse described we'd probably need to open at least two new homes in every council area.
