On Monday I blogged about out-of control Eltham youths. Last night 300 people turned out to a public meeting to discuss what to do (300 in a town the size of Eltham is an amazing turn-out).
Resident Mavis Higgins told the meeting, organised by the local Lions club, that petty crime, vandalism and bullying was caused principally by "too many babies having too many babies".
"They don't know how to bring up their kids and we've let the situation happen because we've sat back and done nothing," she said.
I'd have to disagree with Mavis. We've done plenty to encourage "babies having babies."
