UK riots: 'Being liberal is fine, but we need to be given the right to parent'

Tottenham asks Amelia Gentleman

residents and community leaders, bad education is the root of the anarchy

"Parents are afraid of how to discipline their children," said Clasford Stirling, a veteran youth worker, who runs the club Broadwater Farm Community Centre in Tottenham. "There was erosion of the authority for a long time for parents to move carefully to avoid disturbing their children -.. This is the reality "

Broadwater farm is back in the center of the riot in London. Mark Duggan, whose death sparked riots last week in London, grew up here, and sent one of his kids to soccer classes of Stirling. Wednesday, Stirling was to arrange for their passage.

struggle to make sense of the violence that has transformed the buildings in Tottenham High Road in the heap of smoking ruins, Stirling asked if weakened parental authority may have something to do with it.

the creation of a chorus of voices responded to images of children arriving at school looting at night to blame the parents. Members are encouraged to ensure that their children did not know where David Cameron was speaking again on a broken Britain, and the Mayor of London, said adults and teachers must be returned to the right impose its authority.

Stirling

analysis is more subtle - cited poverty, unemployment, poor education system, police harassment, among other triggers - but he believes that parents are afraid to discipline their own children, and warns that is at least part of the problem that appeared this week in several cities.

"The bad behavior and crime was glamorous in the streets. Teachers are afraid to discipline children. The modern child is not afraid of their parents. It does not matter if the police lock them up, "he said.

from sympathy for the feelings of youth alienation and anger at his stupidity, police said stop and search tactics followed children damaged from the beginning. "There is a big problem with the stop and search. This research leaves a scar, a mark on the child. Condemn violence, but we have to look at the frustration that everyone is in progress. They have no platform, so that lets out his frustration on the streets, "he said.

highly respected for his work with youth in one of the most problematic properties in London, Stirling, which received an MBE in 2007, has a keen sense of unease that has been brewing. This hostility toward the police, with the lack of parental discipline made for an explosive combination, he said.

"I did this for 32 years and I am worried. 'D lying if I said that I was not, "he said." Parents are losing their jobs, which overflows in the family - can not buy this or that. " For your children "is not a reality of poverty. There is no work, nothing. What you have to lose? Some do not even bother covering their faces. They do not seek to steal banks, they will Currys, flying coaches, who are so poor they might go to jail for a flat screen TV.

"Why not call the parents for their children, saying," Come here at once? They can not. Those days are gone, that the authority has disappeared. Many parents are unable to leave their children. Young people are tired. See how they have become bronze, until the police arrive. "

leave his six-year-old son of the class for football, Chris (who would not give his last name) said he felt under pressure not to discipline their children. "The responsibility was removed from their parents. People here call social services if they learn to discipline their children. Childline children hear in school. It is fine to try to be liberal, but the parents should be returned to their parents the right, "he said.

is a quote from David Lammy, Labour MP for Tottenham, often hear from constituents. A group of all parties regarding the paternity of this year, because he was concerned about the issue did not receive enough attention.

He makes it clear that each community has a few hundred people with small problems that are not representative of the rest of society, and to qualify any discussion of parenting in the riots, saying "I do not mean it's OK to plunder, steal, steal or burn the houses, but these are questions we must address

"In areas like mine, we know that 59% of black children in the Caribbean are supported by a single parent. There is no one in the starting premise of two adults who want to start a family, raise children together, I love them, feed them and take them to the full independence of unmarried parents and the child arrived, frankly, casual sex;. the parent is not present, and is not expected that there aren '. t networks of extended family to compensate for that. We see enormous consequences of the lack of male role models in the lives of young men, "he said. "There is virtually no teachers in primary schools."

Driving down the street

Tottenham, where his mother raised four children as a single mother, said he was fortunate to have had positive male role models of an older brother, uncles and teachers.

"There are no models for young men Somali Turkish young men, young people in Portugal. This is America, they will not come anytime soon. This makes the role of parents and uncles of enormous importance, "he said.

"How is his masculinity in the absence of role models? Travers hip-hop through the gang culture, peer groups. It is extremely problematic. Teens in school until 'to 3.30, and MTV, Facebook, Internet, kicks in with a set of values ??that comes with it, not clear to me that parents are equipped to cope when there is an inability to delay free, the alcohol, sex, drugs -.. is the presentation of real problems, and as always the poorest of evil Why, because if you have money you can make other things -. ?. ballets, football classes "

Lammy called the issue of parenting is so weak politically explosive that was a moment hesitate to talk in a very tense situation.

The history of a fracture of the British conservative, advocated by Cameron and Work and Pensions Minister, Iain Duncan Smith, who identified lack of parenting as the root of most social problems, was widely rejected by the left, he said. "The right has much to say about parenting, but not the left wants to talk about that. A vacuum has emerged around it. It is a profound problem. "

He deplored the closure of a number of youth clubs in the city due to budget cuts. "These are some of the people who can talk to these young people who have lost their jobs."

"I try to tell him about good and evil. So many children are afraid no more authority. They go to school and his teacher called his name, no discipline schools. No one receives adequate education and after leaving school and can not work because there is no work, "he said.

Neither Lucas, who trained as an electrician, nor his brother, 20, can find work. "It makes me depressed and angry," said Jane. "I always made sure to go to college to get decent grades, and is simply unnecessary. The longer they are unemployed because they tend to lie about and do nothing, then the less they want to work. If it would work, came home at 6 or 7 and that would be too tired to run around the streets at night. "

Sitting beside his mother on the couch, under instructions not to return to the farm at night, Lucas agreed. "You can not find work, so they remain in the street. If I had a job that was not the end of Sunday night."
