Should we expect ALL 13 yo children to have emotional control?
This is just sad news. Given what our children have to put up with in social media land we should expect a few to be angry. Whilst not condoning this behaviour we allow councillors to lose the plot and lash out and they are adults, all in a days work, do they get a criminal record? If you want to look at stealing then just have a look at grant rorts by the so called adults in charge.
