I don't have any particular fondness for cats, but reading this made me cringe. While the kids deserve a good smack in the ass or two (or three or four...) I can't help but think the parents contribute a good deal to why their kids turn out a certain way. I've learned there here in the US, least with Western culture, not enough kids are disciplined hard enough.. The lack of action on the parent's behalf seems to perpetuate further wrongful acts.
I'm sure there are other factors to blame: media- and the glorification of violence, being around other kids with juvi-potential etc, but early in life, much of the above can still be somewhat controlled or should be monitored by parents.
