This sounds like a great charity providing an essential service to war torn areas. Are the local children aware of the great work they do?
Perhaps some PR is in order locally.
Perhaps the youngsters look at their own life situation, their area, their prospects, their poor quality education, housing, diet and attitude and think — why isn't someone giving a **** about us?
I often wonder why young people are so violent now in all sorts of areas of the city — almost as though they are preparing for some future they dread.
We are indeed the authors of our own destruction if we think filling children with MacDonalds and letting them watch c r a p like Big Brother and Play 'Grand Theft Auto' will have no effect on their mentality.
A charity should be operating in this area to bully the Government into taking children seriously. They need guidance and discipline.

Im not surprised - the area surrounding balmore industrial estate is a complete dump and is full of scum. Smashing and vandalising things is what they do - its all they know how to do.
I would advise moving to an area where the charity can have even quasi-civilised neighbours.

Assuming all this vandalism takes place during the day, then the new Ashgill Centre will resolve matters as the neds will be playing computer games etc.
However, if as I suspect, the vandalism takes place in the evenings and at weekends, your stuffed.

[/quote] But why are they like that?
What is the process?
Can it be reversed?
How do we prevent it in future generations?
There are so many questions that demand answers in our city.
Where is the plan?
Where is the leadership?
I can't see any.

what i do not understand is...the youth who vandalize and destroy do it just for fun....what fun? if they run out of ideas to destroy, do they start on the immediate family?....parents get your destructive offspring to a doctor and he will refer them to a mental proffessional, that way when they end up in an asylum you can honestly say you at least tried to do your best for them.

Be angry if living in Balmore some-one as sebding funds to where? Not that far from the stables project at Lambhill, not far away from ashgill centre, why, why, why are the community safety teams on patrol arresting these kids. Marching them off to the community centre. Did that idea of community safety officers running Ashgill never happen? Mind you CS Glasgow have a hand in there, wrote enought...
