To what extent are parents needing to take more control of their children's behaviour and decisions? and why is no one discussing this? The government cannot be responsible for everything. Sadly in the paper this morning yet another story of a teenager's death due to alcohol and last week another due to drink driving. In last week's case the mother was asking why the courts had not taken her daughter's keys away. Why had the parents and friends not done so? If we do not want to be over governed we need to sort these issues out for ourselves so we do not see any more grieving parents and regretful friends.
