More Teen Deaths As London Knife Crime Grows

Added 07 July 2008

Print version

Last week, another teenager became a victim of London's escalating knife crime problem.

Ben Kinsella, the brother of a popular soap-star, died in an unprovoked attack on the street.

Ironically, Ben had written a letter to Prime Minister Gordon Brown calling for more help for parents and tougher measures to halt this growing menace.

The letter began: 'Youth violence hits deadly peak. When will it stop?'

Ben suggested a key factor was the lack of respect and trust between parents and children.

Read Mal Fletcher's social comment editorial on youth gangs, and last week's posting on youth violence.

Mal, thankyou for provoking me to think more. Your ministry is giving people a real wake up call, provoking Christians to seriously think about how we ought to be responding to issues like celebrity.

Iron sharpens Iron. Even though your Daily Recharge sometimes wakes me up quicker than coffee, I love the "sharp" way you work for God.
