Feral children

When I was a kid I use to run around but I never did anything bad just hung out, and the same with my daughter. But I know many kids that would run crazy and tear sh*t up and not have to pay for it.

We are lucky, no feral children in the area where I live. Not far from here there were episodes of vandalism at the college. They placed hidden camera, they caught the teenagers who caused the damages, their parents were obliged to pay. No more problems since then.

I suppose I would probably have been regarded as a feral child but my friends and I were more interested in playing football, going for bike rides etc. than causing trouble. I think the worst thing we ever got up to was taking a few apples from trees in people's gardens. The problem with parental responsibility is that beyond a certain age some kids are impossible to control. Although it could be argued that a lack of parental discipline at an early age has resulted in this out of control adolescent.

I haven't heard the term feral children before. However, I understand it. It's a problem here too, and yes, parents should be held accountable for their children.

No children live where I live. But yes, our town does have feral children. I think the parents should.

Parents can only do so much about their kids. Especially with teens, as many don't listen to their parents, and then will take off if they get grounded also. Each person, should be accountable for what they do, even kids.

Up to a certain age perhaps the parents should be accountable but once peers have more influence than parents controlling wayward kids becomes pretty difficult sometimes.
