Anybody else watch the doccumentary last night regarding happy slapping?

When I quizzed my 13yr old son, yes his phone is full of short clips from around the school, he feels its spread so fast due to the clips being sent via blootooth and also free of any mobile charges.

Someone needs to get a grip of this situation as the film was very distrubing.
 
I saw the programme Jac and it is indeed disturbing, our whole social structure has broken down and to reverse the damage would take decades which would be hindered by the so called 'do gooders'.

It was evident that the ones who were giving their warped reasons for doing it will by the exposure, enjoy a cult status amongst their peers.
They enjoyed being on the telly and had no fear whatsoever of being held responsible.

Where once it was thought a stigma for ever being involved with the law now seems to be something to boast about.

We now have families with three disfunctional generations and it looks like being extended to the fourth and fifth.
 
Bloody loads, Gareth. The figure off the top of my head would be approaching 50 suspended.
 
Sorry but what is " happy slapping " ? is it like sado masochism for "happy clapping " by those scary born again Christians
 
It involves slapping people in the face while someone else records it on their mobile phone. It also graduates to full scale beatings too. What fun!!
 
:o What the hell is happening to the youth of today? Can't your head ban the said kids from having a mobile phone in school ?

Frankly , mobile phones should be banned in schools or at best handed in in the morning and collected at the end of the day ( though that would be a pain for the staff )
 
Mobile phones banned in school? In a Utopia, that would happen. In reality, collecting and redistributing nigh on 1000 mobiles each day would be impossible. Equally, what happens when the child says they haven't got one, as would be the case in 95% of cases?

Mobiles are banned in my school. I think there may be 50 kids who haven't got one....
 
I was gobsmacked when I saw about 10 mins of the programme last night. What a horrible, horrible world we live in when kids get pleasure from setting upon, or slapping or beating a total stranger and then recording it on their mobile phone and sending it to all their friends. :angry: Some kids seem to be totally out of control and there seems to be no way back for so many of them.

I was listening to a programme on the radio the other night and a child phoned in who was just about to sit his GCSE's. He was clearly spaced out. The reason for his call was to tell the presenter that he was on drugs and he was worried what his future held. He sounded 100% genuine. The phone call was quite upsetting. He didn't want a job, nor a family, he didn't even know if he wanted to give up drugs, but saw his future "on the streets" as he didn't want to work in an office :blink: He seemed to think out of the 200 children in his year over 50 of them were on pretty hard drugs. That is some number. What has society done to these children. They may be a small percentage and they may come from some of the big cities, but I wonder if this is typical of so many of our schools currently? :confused:
 
My best friend from childhood punched me in the mouth at a bus stop once when I crept up behind him and "tangoed" him.
 
So pick the bastads up and hurl them through a Currys shop window: "Therrrrrre ya go....... now you're on telly as well!"

Let's not get too wussy about this: respond with extreme termination.

Good to see the teachers setting the right example...
