Adults have 'an unjustified and disturbing intolerance of children', according to children's charity Barnados. Its survey of more than 2,000 adults in the UK found that 54 per cent think that children are beginning to behave like animals, and that 49 per cent agreed that children are increasingly a danger to each other and to adults, while 49 per cent disagreed with the statement that 'children who get into trouble are often misunderstood and in need of professional help'. Barnado's has launched a new campaign, Breaking the Cycle, aiming to change attitudes to children. For details see www.barnardos.org.uk.
