The youth of today

When reading THIS story today about the dreadful attack on an elderly gentleman in London last year, one thing stood out for me.

Two school children pursued the man and helped the police track him down. They also went to court very bravely to give evidence. The youth of today are too easily criticised by the media, by those in authority and by society as a whole and it is often forgotten and ignored when they show that the stereotyped view people hold of youths is not correct. It would have been good to see the judge reward these pupils for their bravery.
