Discussion
Cleaning the car (which is to be sold today) with my young son when suddenly 4 kids turn up, in full JD Sports wardrobe and when I go inside for a second my son is racially abused by them, who can't be any older than 13 ("Excuse me have you got any curry"). My son goes inside and tells me, when I come out the chavs have crossed the road and ask ME the same line. I respond "Are you stupid?". The chavette responds "yeah" so I say "come and say that to my face" and at that point they leg it. Im f
king fuming, what a stty world we live in for a young child to be racially abused and the "kids" have the cheek to talk back.
king fuming, what a stty world we live in for a young child to be racially abused and the "kids" have the cheek to talk back. Unfortunately an all too common scenario nowadays. I regularly have to drive kids who attend a school for children excluded from mainstream education. They, for the most part anyway, have little respect for anyone or anything. I spoke to one about his repeated use of the N word and it was like talking to a brick wall. He steadfastly refused to accept it was offensive and illegal. I then informed the school about his behaviour and all that happened was he was allocated another driver. The lack of discipline is a joke and the children constantly swear at the teachers. I have to hope that these kids are in the minority, or else despair at the lack of respect and good behaviour displayed by these kids. It's sad that such behaviour is learnt and a indicates the lack of parenting they have had in their lives.

The school disciplinary system is a joke. A family friend told of how a child was suspended 6 TIMES for bullying, drugs and still not expelled. Ridiculous.e21Mark said:

Children like that are well aware that behaving that way annoys you and other adults, and as there is no negative side to causing such annoyance, there's no reason for them to stop doing it. It's as simple and as complex as that.0a said:
Sleeper do you know their school or their parents?
This is the kind of behaviour that needs to be addressed.
You'll get 1 of 2 responses, parents that don't care or parents that are mortified. I think 101 is a good route as at least it's reported and on record. This is the kind of behaviour that needs to be addressed.
On a light hearted note in a topic not meant for it. I often used to say "do you have any curry" to my friend at school. He would often bring some in for lunches and whilst he was sick of always being given it for lunch I was mad for it, his mum made cracking curries.

I'm afraid I don't. First time I have seen the wThis is the kind of behaviour that needs to be addressed.
kers.In that case it's the time to teach your kid that uncomfortable lesson that in life you will meet some tossers - but that they will always progress less than the rest of us. Breed sympathy rather than hatred.

Which is annoying for him, he is popular at school, never gets bullied etc. When I say young, he is secondary school age, his school has no trouble with bullying although it is a non selective state school. He told me however he is no stranger to seeing verbal abuse, he witnessed a classmate being called a n*****, "brownie", "currymuncher" and p***. This was promptly dealt with.
