Arsonists & scutty families.

Round by where i live in the past few weeks around thirty cars have been set alight at night. All of them were in the Carters Green area of West Bromwich , and the police have said they are linked. Why would someone go round setting cars on fire just for the fun of it? Do they not think that, with the current climate, people might not be able to afford to replace their car, or be able to afford the higher insurance premiums?
Vandalism of this kind really gets me mad because life is hard enough without some little shit setting your car on fire in the middle of the night just for the fun of it. Its like those people who walk around and swipe their key down your car door leaving a massive scratch that's expensive to repair. Do these people have no conscience? or do they have something missing in their tiny, sad little brains that stops them from feeling guilt? What could possibly happen to someone that makes them go out and enjoy burning someones pride and joy? Problems like this, my parents say, simply did not happen when they were younger. So, whats happened to make people act in this evil way? My first suspicion is poor parenting. I'm sure when these arsonists are caught they will be under 18, yet are allowed by their parents to stay out all night with their friends getting up to no good.
We all know that every estate has their rough, nasty family from hell. If you live on an estate without a scummy family like this, I'd say by today's standards you are lucky. Not far from me there is a family, with 17 children, ranging from babies up to aged 27, who are this type of family. They do not control their kids in any way what so ever, and as a result, these kids run feral on the estate, stealing cars, jumping privets, etc, you name, one of them has been arrested for it. What is irritating about this particular family is nothing ever seems to be done about them. There have been neighbourhood meetings and that kind of thing, but they continue to run riot. I'm sure everyone knows that these problems continue down the generations, and with this family, the older kids now have their own children who are now adding to the estates problems.
When is enough enough? The police seem powerless to do anything. This family, if that's what they are called, I'd call it a pack, like dogs, congregate on the same street corner every night, drinking, and doing everything else that unruly kids do. They are sometimes there until 3am but its never the parents who fetch them in. When i was young we were told a time to be in, and that was it, you were late and you were in big trouble.


The big question is what can be done with these types of families? None of them work, they are all on benefits, with the mother having been pregnant nearly every year. Why aren't their benefits stopped until they get jobs? Why aren't they put on community work to try and instill some kind of normal working attitude into them?
Two of this particular families children were sent to court for setting things on fire a few years ago, and it wouldn't surprise if its these two again now. The government claims to be getting tough on families like these, but I'm yet to see any results on my estate. This family constantly get raided by the police for drugs, yet are never evicted. They are always driving round the estate in stolen cars and being arrested for it, but the younger ones aren't old enough to prosecute. I've recently heard the council are evicting the family next door so the scutty family can knock two houses into one so there is more space for their ever growing brood. I'm disgusted by the council supporting these people endlessly, when normal folk have to suffer the wrath of their evil children. Enough said, I'm getting angry.
