I COULD not agree more with recent letters regarding the two teenage girls who caused so much trouble to the caretaker and police as reported in the Evening News.
I appreciate, to some extent, the difficulty for one of the girls' fathers, who stated that his daughter was heavily influenced by the "wild cat accomplice". But surely she knew right from wrong?
I also feel that schools could help matters more if stricter regulations were enforced on behaviour in school, and also on stricter regulations regarding school uniform, instead of allowing girls to appear more like married women, plastered with make-up and young male pupils with shirts hanging out like ragamuffins.
It seems like there is less and less parental or school control anymore, therefore it's not surprising that the result is such appalling behaviour.
It is precisely thugs like this who put fear into decent children not wanting to attend certain schools and receive a good education.
Perhaps the best answer to this problem would be to place those out-of-control thugs in long-term institutional care among their own kind.
