Councillor Geoff Wells was spot-on to describe the vandals as "low-life" who broke into the Rudyard Kipling school and stole the children's presents. But we should not be surprised at this sort of behavior.

I was a right little devil at school but soon learnt right from wrong when given the cane. What do we do now with our little devils? Send them on holiday - hell, if you torture and murder some-one you are given a private school-style education, want for nothing and receive a new identity, like the killers of James Bulger. Can we still find the word "respect" in the Oxford English Dictionary?
