Children - Little "Angels" ???

My thought is coming to life from the world of "sitcom" drama, a.k.a "Soap".

Watching the Australian soap, "Neighbours" and UK soaps "Emmerdale", "Coronation Street" and "EastEnders" in the last few days, it's been one tragedy after the other, all coming via the antics of children.

"Neighbours" - Little Mike made his way up into a truck in the driveway, messed around with the controls, released the handbrake and the truck rolled back into the road, in the path of on-coming traffic. So many injured.

"Emmerdale" - Restless Victoria has wrecked everything in her path, now she's caused a huge fire that has consumed a few homes and maybe cost a life.

"Coronation Street" - Maladjusted David is also causing his mayhem.

"EastEnders" - Ian Beale's teenage girl Lucy has proved to be a tearaway. From dangerous liaisons with a crazy boyfriend, she's now teamed up with her long-separated brother Steven who's every bit a psycho. Their step-mum Jane may lose her life from gun-shot wounds inflicted by Steven.

Art imitating life?? Rather worrying scenes that should get folks to ponder on the direction of their kids.

This time, Life imitates Art.

Five boys have been sentenced to two years' detention for killing a father who collapsed with a heart attack after being pelted with stones and rocks.

The boys, now aged between 12 and 14, were convicted of manslaughter and violent disorder in August.

Passing the sentence at the Old Bailey, Judge Warwick McKinnon said: "The conduct of all of you as a group was utterly disgraceful and criminally irresponsible."

If only we take time out to listen to our kids.....some are going through a phase in life...whilst others want to imitate the exact things they see on TV.

The world is now an express one.....we all live a fastfood life.....everything on the go.

Kids now look for a way of expressing themselves in a world that now looks oppressive.

Paradox of life........We've learned how to make a living but not a life........all is Rat Race.
