I and my family have lived in the Millbrook area of Southampton for a while now and over the years have seen some eventful scenarios, and some lovely ones as well, however nothing quite shocked me until coming home from an evening out one Saturday recently at around 11pm.

To our disgust and shock we came across three youths aged no more than 10 to 13 acting out lewd sexual acts in the middle of the road (Cumbrian Way).

We are not prudes by any means but the mind boggles as to where they have seen this type of sexual behaviour and also where on earth did their parents think they were?

We have raised boys on this estate and I can say without a doubt that at that age we knew where they were at that time of night (normally in bed or out with us).

It brings into question about this generation’s parenting skills.

In my day you would have been taken home by the ear to your parents and left for them to deal with you and we were more afraid of that than the police back then.

Maybe that’s because we has a thing called respect for parents however we would never have dreamt of doing this type of behaviour in the first place.

So come on all you parents of the youth of today – teach your kids some respect, dignity and morals.
