We just have a broken society and those who are trying to do the right thing, work hard at school seem to suffer the most from this.

Well given on Wednesday a 15 year old girl was stabbed to death at a bus stop for trying to help her friend, today we hear that a tree was cut down, we have had teachers stabbed, assaulted and it makes me wonder what HAS to happen to finnally make those at the top get a grip on the whole situation.

Not just those who are under 18, but look at the whole picture, parents, social media, mental health issues, lack of education due to low atte4ndance, bullying at school, county lines, drugs, gangs, low level crime, and start to send a message cross a line you get consequences.

One idea is, once convicted, to NAME those who have committed serious crimes,
To add to that, commit a crie under 18 and the conviction stays wtth you for life, so there are truly life changing consquences for those who commit crimes (oh hang on victims and families face the same).
We have laws in place to stop discrimination based on a criminal record, so these need to be enforced.

How many more have to die before action is taken. Everyone should be able to go about their daily lives and feel safe, why do so many women and girls especially feel unsafe.

It will probably take Chenobyl v 2.0 before the world wakes up to this, assuming we survive that is

As we have seen with Russell Brand, he just carred on with other means of getting his words out. I wonder if these people will end up on peertube? If that happens perhaps we need to be ready otherwise the media will jump on the fact they are, give them free publicity and end up saying that peertube is just full of hatred and impact the reputations of those of us who use peertube to share stuff that isn't going to cause massive offense.

On a sort of related note, article on the BBC this week about the number of children not in school cites social media esp in secondary school as having a major negative impact. Bullying at school carries on via social media, mental health is also linked.

We have seen so-called 'frenzies' in the UK, that seem to be organised via social media. Tik Tok claim they are just building communities. So perhaps this needs to be investigated by governments further and laws brought in to counter what is being facilitated on social media platforms.

Social media is a force for good and can be very beneficial to many groups, BUT it also has a dark side, when this dark side spills over to the real world nasty things happen, rumours start about people, events, these seem, in some cases to culminate in violence

Perhaps we need to identify what is happening on a much deeper level, and come up with long term (10->20 years) solutions that fix a much wider range of problems.

Unless his career is OVER then others will follow and make similar comments, there HAS to be turning point where actions have consequences.
