Just Pointing The Blame Again..?
Mp David lammy says smacking children could of prevented riots and feels the smacking ban should be undone.
Now to me its not as simple as that there was alot of things going on and there is alot of issues on going on in britain. You cant blame something like the riots on adults not smacking children...im sure some of the children were and there was adult involved in the riots...i wondered how many of them were smacked as children?

Article ritten by Tom Parry...
"I have to say when this was first raised with me I was pretty disparaging. But I started to listen. These parents are scared to smack their children and paranoid that social workers will get involved and take their children away."
I would say from this it isnt a smacking things its general disapline, if parents are scared to inforce any disicpline the result probly would be children running riot, theres no fear...no punishment, if there isnt consequences for your actions then why not just do what ever you want...

Safeguarding children
The Government has defined the term ‘safeguarding children’ as:
‘The process of protecting children from abuse or neglect, preventing impairment of their health and development, and ensuring they are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care that enables children to have optimum life chances and enter adulthood successfully.’
According to NSPCC
53 children a day are abused.
1 in 10 adults has been severely neglected as a child.
Disabled children or children with learning disabilities are 20% more likely 'than average' to run away.
As many as 1 in 9 mothers have shaken their baby and 2 in 9 have felt like shaking their baby.
An article i read into...
'Emma was 14 when she met her first 'boyfriend'. He – in his 30s – bought her presents, picked her up in his car, told her he loved her.
But he soon changed. He became violent and before long was forcing her to have sex with his friends. Then, like a toy, Emma was passed on, shipped around the country and raped by countless men. "I got taken to flats. I don't know where they were and men would be brought to me," she said. "I was never given any names and I don't remember their faces."
Link with some pretty horrific storys of abuse/torture to children:

Emma's story is one of unimaginable horror, but according to children's charity Barnardo's there are many more victims like her, and numbers are growing. "Barnardo's knows that sexual exploitation is going on in every town and city in the UK," said chief executive Ann Marie Carrie. "Child victims continue to go unidentified as tell-tale signs are overlooked from the front line of children's services to the corridors of Whitehall.'

Adoption / Fostering
Watching the news there's a lot on about fostering and shortages and the amount of children in care. This morning Iv seen something im torn about, that government will tear away some of the red tape and make adoption easier. It's good to think that more children will get family's but if they stop being as picky are children goin to be put into safe homes are they going to be put at risk?...
And just wanna wish a merry Christmas to everyone xxxxx

Racism infront of you...
I really felt quite angry this morning... enough to ring my dad and tell him how discusted i am to related to a particular family member of ours and he completly agreed and said hes had several rows with this person.
This morning i had a very headed conversation on the internet with my family member who is going to be moving over, i seen alot of things on his fb i dont agree with so as he told me this i think he may of been expecting a nice reply of something along the lines of ...im so happy to hear that cant wait to see you. Instead from me he got 'england doesnt want you if your going to bring them edl views with you'.
He got a bit denfensive when i told him i felt he was racist and posted things i dont agree with and went on a rant of i have mexican freinds and muslim freinds...etc
and gave the usual babble about how this country is, i told him you dont study anything you dont learn about how many people are here and we only let a small amount of people from other countrys in compared to some others and he hasnt got a clue how it is over here.
He to my digust replied with 'the only different there to here is we have mexicans and you have filthy muslims'
...i said straight away that comment straight away proved my point and ur have no repect for your own freinds you have said are muslims.
And that was my rant over!
