Spare the belt . . .

[DoreSlamR]

Here's an recent extreme example of not properly disciplining your kids:

The boys appeared in court yesterday accused of the attack which saw the victims, aged nine and 11, punched, kicked and slashed with a Stanley knife before being hurled down a steep slope in Edlington.

The pair appeared in court looking bored, and letting out the occasional giggle.

Clad in football shirts, without their families, the pair casually pulled faces with their hands.

The youngsters, aged ten and 11, were barely able to peer over the glass reinforced dock as the Crown prosecutor outlined the graphic and distressing events which have sent a wave of revulsion across the country.

Both children are charged with attempted murder and robbing the two boys of just £5 and a mobile phone.

The older boy suffered horrific head injuries and is still in hospital.

Yesterday, after a three-day police inquiry, the Crown Prosecution Service charged the brothers.
