Re Vandals destroyed memorial for babies, (Evening Times September 7): I absolutely hate the way people have no respect for anything these days. Whether its memorials, cenotaphs, other people's property or just basic good manners. I'm assuming this has been kids or youths. If so they should be made to pay for the repair and given serious community service. Infant loss is absolutely devastating, grieving families don't need this. Disgusting.

Re Opponent of offensive behaviour at football act facing charges (Evening Times, September 7): The best advice to football supporters is to stay silent, try and be at games in the company of others to help corroborate your story if the police arrest you on trumped up charges, and use your mobile to take any evidence you can to back your case.

Beware! Sturgeon's SS (so-called anti-sectarian unit) are out to get you! You can be sure their political masters are looking for a rise in arrests and convictions - on trumped up charges if necessary - to enable them to defend their unjust legislation from criticism.

Re Barlinnie's sexual offenders number quadruple (Evening Times, September 7)

The significant factors are an increase in the number of older prisoners convicted of historical sex crimes. The Scottish Prison Service said 12% of its prisoners in Scotland are over 50, with more than 100 older than 65.

"We're seeing increasing numbers of people getting sentences for offences committed 30, 40, even 50 years ago," he said.

Of course, there are also many more types of sexual offence, including so-called 'revenge-images', grooming and the downloading of illegal images available on-line. Hopefully, attitudes to the handling of such crimes has improved, as well as technology.

Re Historic stone panel to be unveiled in Clydebank (Evening Times, September 7): As a kid growing up in Faifley, and always heading up to my grannies small holding in Cochno, I well remember the stone and used to sit around it as we made our way home after an exhausting day playing in and around the estates of the Cochno. Was saddened to see it was buried when I took a trip around the area about 10 years ago and wondered what had happened to the stone (I actually thought there was more than one. Hopefully the work being done will ensure the stone is preserved yet enjoyed by current and future generations like it was by mine.

Re Glasgow facing a tidal wave of demand for older people's services (Evening Times September 6) I care for a parent with worsening dementia and am unsure how much longer it can go on. The stress and strain is unbearable. So if I have to make the decision to put my parent into a home, it's certainly not dumping them.
