1rovert, I know one of the social workers who was assigned to one of those ghastly boys (I shalln't say which one as it will just get banned anyway) and he never showed any remorse whatsoever for what he did. All his snivelling was for himself, until he toughened up a bit once he got used to being in the kidclink and then bullied the younger boys in there. Whilst he was supposed to locked up he was actually being taken to Old Trafford to see Utd play and went shopping to the Trafford Centre for Xmas presents for his family one year, all part of this country's mental 'civil rights' no doubt, in order to 'rehabilitate' the little beast ready for his early release.
Sorry for ranting, but to this day this winds me up, as it does my social worker friend who hated the little $hit and resented being assigned such a case.
