Not all of Fife's kids cause problems, but it appears that more and more of them are finding themselves in trouble.
"THE number of crimes committed by children in Fife has soared over the past year, bringing the total to around 11 classrooms full. A total of 275 recorded charges were made against individuals under 10-years-old last year, while the year before the number totalled 239 - 15 per cent less.The catalogue of crimes committed by children include vandalism, breach of the peace and shoplifting, while the under-10s involved were reprimanded by warning letters, referrals to Sacro - an agency to reduce offending - or the social work department."
It would never have happened in Carnegie's day. Here's hoping they learned the lesson and turned over a new leaf.
