Named and shamed: the 16 barred from UK
Tuesday, 5 May 2009

The article says that sixteen people from all different countries are not allowed to enter the United Kingdom anymore. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith certified to make the names of those who were banned since October official and public. People have to know what kind of behavior Britain will not accept. If you have difficulty by living the rules of the country you are not allowed to be in the country and your name will be made public and everyone will know why you are not welcome anymore. On the list there are only names of people who do something that is not allowed or accepted and whose behavior is against the rules and values, or when there is the thought of cause violence or inter-community tension.

Reaction
When I started to read this article I thought that the steps this Home Secretary takes are a bit extreme. I thought she wanted to put all people on the list who just have got different opinions. While reading I discovered this was not the case. She only puts people on this list who are overstepping the mark when there is the thought of causing violence or inter-community tension... One of these people on the banned list is Michael Weiner, also known as Michael Savage, the radio talk show host. I agree with this measure of the home Secretary. The people who are on the list of least wanted are people who have extreme ideas and thoughts. If you let them do what they want they can cause very bad things, like hate or violence, which is not good for the society. People deserve to have peace and calmness and if that is only reachable by taking this kind of measures, well then so be it...

Last February there was a news article published in The Sun which caused a lot of fuss. This article was about Alfie Patten, a twelve -year -old boy, who according to his fifteen-year-old girlfriend, Chantelle Stedman, is the father of her child. Baby Maisie was born at Eastbourne District General Hospital on February 9 this year. Nearly immediately serious questions were raised about whether Alfie, could in fact be the child's real father. Although Chantelle Stedman has insisted all the time that Alfie is the father of her child, six other young boys said that they had also slept with Chantelle. After a court judgment DNA tests have shown that not Alfie Patten is the father of Chantelle Stedman’s baby but the fifteen-year-old Tayler Barker is. Tyler Banker has admitted having unprotected sex with the girl after spending the night drinking at her home, but he never thought it was going to be such a big problem, because Chantelle said she would take the morning after pill. Even her mother knew the kids were going to have sex.

Debate: kids are having kids

Arguments in favor:
- Nowadays it is not a big problem when young children become a parent because there are a lot of professional provisions for financial and psychological support for this target group.
- Children who become parent have more Sense of responsibility.
- Having a child on that age would be better than having an abortion. An abortion would be against faith.

Arguments against:
- No chance to study.
- You can lose your family by hurting their feelings.
- Raising a child is just too expensive so they will face financial difficulties.
- Face an insecure future.
- Your youth slips through your fingers.
- We should offer young children more and better sex education.
- The parents are educators; it is their responsibility to correct their children.
- Sex on this age is not good for the development of young children.

My conclusion:
Today’s children are psychically more mature, but kids having kids is in my opinion extremely worrying. It has become a vexed question in society. We can blame the parents or another kind of sort educator, but I think we must blame the authorities and institutes like Children’s Help Lines and Child Welfare Councils. I think that authorities have too much voice in social questions under which upbringing. We all know the procedures and methods of working of these authorities. They always stand up for the rights of the children what makes that parent have less to say. Even when you spank your child correctively this could cause difficulties for you as a parent. Because of the fact that parents have less to say children have more room to move, with all its consequences.
