LadyD - I couldn't disagree more. There is no hysteria, people are simply voicing their reasonable disapproval at teenagers / young adults fighting and swearing in an area full of toddlers / young children. It is quite scary for a 3 year old to witness a group of 7-8 young men fighting and swearing. Sure, adolescents will do this stuff, but the issue is the setting in which they're doing it. I have spoken to them myself in the past as it happens, but that's not the point. The point is, they shouldn't be regularly hanging around in the playground. Why don't they cross the road to Goose Green? Suggesting that people are being hysterical or implying that they are up tight, simply for disapproving is just excusing bad behaviour and is unhelpful.
