From the Approach of the Guilty Until Proved Innocent State desk it's The Government want to set up a database to list troublesome children that might become criminals in later life.
Professionals will be encouraged to include other factors, such as the likelihood of teenage pregnancy or the risk of "social exclusion", in deciding which children should be monitored.
So the government wants teenage pregnancy to be considered a crime now? Because no matter how they cut it, that's what it's going to seem.
Children's charities are concerned that the new system will lead to registered youngsters being stigmatised as tomorrow's criminals.
Maybe that's the point, maybe Tony Blair is such a control freak he's now seeking to control who the criminals will be. Maybe special schools could be set up for these kids, where they are taught skills like how to steal cars, shoplifting and benefit fraud?
