Well we're way off topic here Ed but the truth is that institutional violence to almost all children was routine here until about 1975. What we have had is generations of emotionally damaged people who don't know how to manage their own kids and often became addicted to alcohol or heroin. It wasn't just the regular beatings in school that caused those problems of course. But that approach to looking after kids had never worked here. The gangs in Glasgow in the 1970's were more violent than the ones we have today and nearly everyone was in one.
