Rejected petition Caning should be re-introduced back in secondary schools, after the london riots.

More details

After the riots It shows that the youth of today has no respect or discipline in our society, parents of these youths do not care so there is no one to discipline them. That's why I belive the school should be a instition which should be able to place respect and responsibility in our children through the simple but effective form of caning. This could be used for anything the youth does inside or outside the school and so this would deter any youth in acting in any way which is not acceptable in a decent society.
