The Officials of the Young People’s Care System, US have clamped down on their rules being too lenient, particularly with the investigation of the erratic new road games youngsters have taken a great interest in. Youngsters in care from privileged families are heavily subsided with assets such as driving lessons which means they can learn to drive much quicker than those who are not privileged. Furthermore, the scheme is also funded by parents of the ‘rich’ kids who want their children to learn the ‘hard’ way in society. Many of these youngsters, ranging from the age of 11-18 have been kicked out of school or have been involved in petit street crimes. The youngsters say they are bored and that the organization is as bad as their parents and cannot give them constant entertainment and that is why they have to look for other pleasures. Education officer says, “They’re just spoilt and so are their parents. They must understand that the world is not perfect and one cannot just turn a blind eye to ‘irritating’ kids. They need to work at it.”
