Mandy Lane: “Lisa Catherine and Jade Chantelle are two amazing mums. I've chased a few bully girls across a park or two. Given tongue lashings on-line and outside shops. But the kids have got more violent and dangerous these days. In my day they'd be expelled and have no mates.
D-wan Notrethorb: “What is wrong with this generation of children! Seriously! As kids we had fights but not to the point where we nearly killed each other.”
Virginia Hamilton: “This is disgusting hope your daughter is okay. Unfortunately this is some of the children today most of them left to their own devices and parents don’t care.”
