This is pretty scary as it's a 20 min drive from me and I saw the video of it on Facebook.

But a 16 year old boy is in a critical condition (someone on Facebook say they knew the boy and he has a collapsed lung) and a 19 year old but his condition is stable.

There were 2 other boys involved one which was stamping on the victim but they have yet to be arrested

Why are parents allowing their children out with knives let alone allowing them out during a lockdown.

Sadly children that are capable of doing such a thing come from families that can’t control their children...

We don't know the parents to judge their parenting and bad parenting isn't always the the case and shouldn't be an excuse for this boys behaviour. Not all parents know what their kid actually gets up to. Kids fall in the wrong crowd for many reasons.

But they should not be allowing their kids out right now and that's a big problem

What makes you think they're able to stop him?

For someone that young to be doing things like that, he either has parent(s) who are hopelessly wet and can't control him, or they're neglectful or otherwise abusive scags who couldn't give a shit.

There was another stabbing in Smethwick which isnt far from here.

The video is circulating online and the man had sadly died pretty much before he hit the ground

West Midlands police made a major mistake with the victims identity.

They first said he was 20 but now said he was 31 I dint get how they can get an age wrong by 11 years

Would you say someone who committed statutory rape shouldn't be punished, because the 14 year old child "wanted it" ?

Everyone is the product of their upbringing to a certain extent, and kids are obviously going to react to their home environment.

Dear me I'm not playing some sick hypothetical judge judy with you.. I've heard of the cycle of abuse but it's not a given. Not every disadvantaged child goes on to be an abuser. :/

I didn't say every every disadvantaged child goes on to be an abuser. I said most kids who commit crimes like that probably come from homes.

I don't know why everyone is clutching their pearls at the idea of there being a problem with parenting - it's 100% correct that most teens who get caught up in cycles of crime and violence come from "broken" backgrounds, often heavy substance abuse, often not even living with a parent at all.

Sure there are a VERY SMALL number who come from normal family homes but have gone massively off the rails for other reasons (psychological disorders, getting drawn in by someone else influential, being badly bullied themselves and flipping to the other side to stop being the target) but there is simply no denying that severely delinquent behaviour in under 18's is linked to problems at home.
