God, no.

What has England come to? What happened to men being gentlemen?

The fact that people cannot simply leave their homes without being attacked, no matter what the age. Whether you're 15, 20, 56 or 69 is Southampton really a safe people for people to be?

'There were 103,977 crimes in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight between July 2012 and June 2013. That's according to figures published this week by the Office for National Statistics which show crime fell 12 per cent compared with the previous 12 months.' from the official Hampshire Constabulary webpage. Although crime is on the never-ending decrease, why is still happening in the most obscure ways? Critics would say that not all of these crimes are that serious, but they are. Isn't any crime serious? That's why they became acts, right?

Just two days ago three teenage girls, aged just 15, were viciously attacked by an 18-year-old male. This in itself is a very serious offence and has left one of the girls in hospital with some pretty bad injuries. This is what makes the world a bad place for your very children, everyone will and can look like the everyday person and then do the most obscure thing. Although the male has been arrested, he has not yet been charged. Therefore it leaves speculation and doubt as to who really may have committed such a brutal attack on these young girls.

These links will provide you with information about what is going on, and will probably post if he has been charged or released. Whilst we hope that the perpetrator is caught, we also want it to be the right one and to make sure that justice has been fairly served.

News just in - the suspect has been charged with the following:

- Attempting to inflict GBH

- GBH

- Common assault

- Possession of a bladed article
Note: I have not mentioned the person's name because after all this it may be found that is not guilty, therefore, I don't want to make assumptions about it.

It seems that the streets aren't as safe as they used to be. People walking around with all types of weapons and why? Is the soul reason to carry these weapons around to harm people or is just that self defense gets taken into its own hands sometimes? We will find out if he gets found guilty or not guilty as his trial is only tomorrow morning. Let's hope that they have caught the right person and that justice is served fairly. It's really sad that crimes like this still happen.
