Delinquent parents
Sir. — Proprietors of a shopping area in North Beach agree heartily with the comments of Chief Superintendent Twentyman on the subject of uncontrolled children. We and our businesses suffer increasingly from bicycles, skateboards and generally offensive behaviour causing our customers to refrain from shopping while the children are out of school. Brief, occasional visits by police or traffic officers result in temporary improvement, but such visits are too infrequent to maintain order. While discipline remains a nasty word among child guidance advisers and uncontrolled self-expression the order of the day. the situation can only deteriorate. — Yours, etc., (MRS) A. J. FLANAGAN. April 6, 1977.
