Anti-social kids get the red card

Kids who behave badly will be getting the red card, in a new scheme to deal with troublesome teens.

Police in Corby, Northamptonshire, are giving out yellow warning cards to kids who are hanging around in large groups but haven't broken the law.

But children who do break the law, or are involved in anti-social behaviour, will get a more serious red card.

Kids who are carded will have letters sent to their parents, and could be given an anti-social behaviour order.

The scheme is aimed at getting kids to realise that hanging around in groups can make some people feel scared and threatened.

The police also want parents to be very active in making kids realise that they should act responsibly.

So what do you think? Will the cards make a difference, or are they unfair to kids? E-mail us and let us know.
