No wonder when shit all happens to them or their parents when they're caught.

It is intentionally misleading to call these knife wielding thugs “ children”. We all know what a more accurate discription would be, but for some reason Scotland Yard prefers to avoid the obvious truth.

wheres the parents

This issue won't be solved by hiding behind political correctness, Scotland Yard know that most of the knife crime is committed by young black males and is part of the gang culture but won't say it for fear of being accused of racism.

Answer = The breakdown in family life 💔

They suffer and feel bad and need help!

It just shows up the utterly useless, feckless parents that are dropping kids in this country..

Of course little thugs that schools can’t discipline parents let run riot cos they can’t either and courts let them off with fines and community service they don’t do

melidayoung2 Ethnicities ?

melidayoung2 So are the mums and dads of these kids actively getting involved to stop this happening?They have some responsibility surely?

I wonder if there is also a correlation to skin colour? But we would never be allowed to know that...

Actually, it's not children. It always makes sense to narrow the field down when carrying out analysis. You will find it's a certain type of child. Something very rotten pervades our culture and there will be no solution until it is faced.

Scary

Joshua Gardner: 'Zombie knife' attacker jailed for three-and-a-half years as judge increases sentenceJoshua Gardner, 18, was filmed attacking a car with the knife in broad daylight in Croydon, south London, in May last year. Good. If the government are not going to put more police on our streets (thanks for that theresa_may) then they need to send a tough message about carrying knives. Still not long enough but alot better than a suspended sentence first given Not sure what he did exactly but seems like you might want to lock up anyone with the nickname “Zombie Knife Attacker” a little more than 3 1/2 years

Croydon 'zombie knife' attacker jailed for three and a half yearsCourt of appeal rules Joshua Gardner’s initial suspended sentence was ‘unduly lenient’ Still a pathetic sentence, of which 50% will be served. Animals like this need to be locked up for long sentences as a deterrent for the other morons who think carrying zombie knives make them a hard man. Smashed the window and stabbed into the car with the knife...3.5 years? I hope that amount of time is sufficient to deter him! Is this not attempted murder?! I sincerely doubt had he actually broke the car window he was trying to smash with the 10 Inch Blade he was holding he would've just given the passenger a tickle. Even more embarrassing is that this is a CORRECTION of an even more lenient sentence.

How effective is that going to be, i'm sure criminals find one way or another to do things, if inmates can access phones in prison how are you going to stop these from creating a fake account Lol this is stupid how about police and media giants clamp down on idiots who pose in photos with a gun or a knife that would be a start !!!

But on the other hand, I agree. Kids used to carry pen knives all the time. They were sensible enough not to stab other people or cut themselves. That's not the case these days. Why? What else has changed since then? Why is the Guardian against stopping knife crime?
