SIR, - IT is time the law was changed to give control back to parents, police and teachers.

As the law stands, younger children know they cannot be named or, in many cases, taken to court.

They are getting younger and should be named and shamed and if they've done the crime they should do the time.

When given a sentence they should serve the full sentence - the law is too lenient.

Let's get back to law and order and make the time fit the crime. Never has there been so much badness about.
