It’s a sad state of affairs summed up perfectly by the thread title.
There’s something very wrong at the moment and nothing seems the same since covid. Though it clearly can’t be used as an excuse it’s definitely a factor.
Without doubt the age of young people involved in serious criminality is getting younger and those couple of years where schools weren’t open has affected some kids development (particularly those that were in there last year of juniors).
Unfortunately for some home learning didn’t involve education because not all parents bought into it and the lack of integration was a big loss in their nurturing and natural development.
I also think a huge factor is children being bought into this world with no solid foundation re a loving home or in some cases a loving and stable family. It’s way too easy for children to be born for all the wrong reasons with no plan and no love from the prospective parent / parents. It’s a huge factor in relation to the problems we’re seeing with criminality in the very young and is something that is passed down to them through the trauma they may experience at a very young age. It’s almost second generation now so things won’t improve till things change.

These little bast*rds need to be made an example of. There's no respect, discipline, or real deterrent anymore and it stems from parents, school and social media (I wonder if they were sick enough to film it ?). I know this has been debated many times on the Oatie but the situation just keeps getting worse with no real upturn in sight. I would imagine the girl must be absolutely traumatised, has it been revealed how old she is yet ?

I dont disagree with any of the above, but I think easy access to online porn for young kids, and the affect it has on their mentality, and attitude towards women cannot be underestimated. Very difficult to regulate without wholesale ban on phones in school and then parents are up in arms if that is even suggested.
The last time I was working in schools, one of the biggest issues was stopping kids watching porn in school time, and it's hard to imagine that some of the behaviours towards girls from the boys were not influenced by what they were watching. God knows what they are accessing out of school!

God knows what they are accessing out of school! Completely agree. The effects of violent and misogynistic pornography as well as from influencers such as Andre Tate with their toxic masculinity are huge, I have two teenage boys and I'm constantly talking to them about the dangers of it.........

Worse, some parents gobble up crap from people like this on social media and teach it to their child.

In my naive/cynical opinion, it all starts with social media. Social media algorithms to keep you watching are not dissimilar to approaches cults give you (provide you with lots of basic, similar content and then throw in the odd extreme bit of content when you’ve grown accustomed to what you see). Social media keeps kids absorbed in their phones so that they don’t need to interact with people outside (so why bother building youth clubs? (I definitely believe that they should be built)). Social media does the same to parents and takes away the time that parents interact personally with their child (meaning the child can spend more time looking at “influencers”). Covid has now accelerated this by taking kids out of classrooms and away from some of their only regular points of contact. Independent of that though, while I am agnostic, I do think that the lack of church going has broken down a community spirit. Not necessarily because people aren’t learning about God but because beyond the Sunday sermons, churches used to offer lots of fairs, after school/work clubs etc that served as a good place to build community. Since disappearing, these haven’t really been replaced, leading to villages and towns with far less personal interaction than in previous generations.

I agree entirely that the thread title poses a very serious question and deserves serious response not a knee-jerk reaction The 42 Police Forces in England and Wales have compiled the Statistics for 2022 of CSAE and they make shocking reading Children now ‘biggest perpetrators of sexual abuse against children’ Police data shows 52% of alleged offenders in England and Wales are minors – a situation exacerbated by ‘accessibility of violent porn Boys are watching violent porn on their smartphones then going on to attack girls, police have said, as new data showed children are now the biggest perpetrators of sexual abuse against other children. The report from the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) said the offending by adults against children was usually more serious, but said they were alarmed by the growth of sexual offending by those aged 17 or under. Police received reports of 14,800 rapes and sexual assaults against children aged 10 to 17 where the suspect was classed as a child, the overwhelming majority being boys.Ian Critchley QPM, NPCC lead Child Abuse Protection and Investigation said: I think that is being exacerbated by the accessibility of violent pornography and the ease with which violent pornography is accessible to boys and, therefore, a perception that is [normal] behaviour, and that person can carry out that behaviour that they are seeing online in the most violent way against other peers as well. “Clearly the accessibility to smartphones has just rocketed, not just in relation to 11- to 16-year-olds, but in relation to under-10s as well. That accessibility has really exacerbated that and I think this is a debate that does need to be had in our society.” A third of attacks take place within the family, the most common setting for abuse, and eight out of 10 victims knew their attacker. Police said it is estimated as few as one in six offences are reported to them. www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/society/2024/jan/10/children-now-biggest-perpetrators-of-sexual-abuse-against-childrenThe Original NPCC Report news.npcc.police.uk/releases/vkpp-launch-national-analysis-of-police-recorded-child-sexual-abuse-and-exploitation-csae-crimes-report-2022#:~:text=52%25%20of%20all%20CSAE%20cases,a%20wide%20range%20of%20offending. It seems to me that the Police Forces in England and Wales have become alarmed at the scale at which CSAE is being reported while accepting it is vastly under-reported The Primary Source has been identified, Violent Porn on Smart Phones and the main perpetrators young boys aged 10-17 I must admit I was rather sceptical when I heard recently of attempts to restrict Mobile Phone access in Schools, I no longer am. The Police can't be expected to prevent the source which is in the Home/School but trained Officers can Educate in Schools with Parents participation Much attention has been given recently, rightly so, to XL Bully Dogs and the responsibility of Owners and penalties It doesn't eliminate but creates a heightened awareness Parenting too comes with responsibilities

The UK has had the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Western Europe for many, many years, it's a national scandal, considering that we have the 6th richest economy in the world.
Study after study has concluded that there is a direct correlation between poverty and teenage pregnancy.

I think there’s still too much of this “have a baby and get a free home” attitude around. To be fair there is some truth in it. At the very least it will push someone up the ladder. It’s very sad that this is the only plan for some.

Since disappearing, these haven’t really been replaced, leading to villages and towns with far less personal interaction than in previous generations. I’m no expert and can only base my beliefs on personal experience but I’d say For sexual offences access to extreme porn is a huge factor but it’s far bigger than that in that parents should be monitoring their children’s internet use. There’s plenty of apps that parents can use to be more watchful. What doesn’t help is the ease that young children can get on these sites too. I’d also say lack of education both at school and home is a factor. There needs to be more lessons (there are some) for those that are classed as vulnerable in relation to surviving in society. For violent crime it’s a case of take your pick but the biggest factor is lack of consequences when youngsters start offending. There needs to be more fear around real punishment. Youngsters are to far down the line before they see a real consequence for their actions. There needs to be more short sharp shocks eg day / week sentences where they come out thinking “I’m not going back there.”

We could have a 100 similar threads citing all manner of social issues, but the reality is until we vote in a progressive government willing to make radical change we'll just keep talking about it. Reduce the inequality gap year on year and many of these issues will reduce by default............
