In response to Mrs Susan Jones' letter regarding the behaviour of children in the Lymm, Grappenhall and Thelwall area, I couldn't agree more.
However, I am the mother of one of these anti-social teenagers and can reassure you that I was mortified when I discovered that he wasn't sleeping at his friend's house, but was in fact drinking, smoking and 'hanging around'.
I speak also for the mothers that I have liaised with since the children's behaviour was uncovered.
We are all disgusted by our usually lovely and well- behaved offspring, have punished them accordingly and are working together to prevent this totally unacceptable nuisance.
You could say the children pulled the wool over our eyes and, wanting to trust and believe them, we unwittingly caused our fellow neighbours distress.
Please do accept the most sincerest of apologies, I can assure you that my child will not be part of that kind of activity again.
