Almost half of Britons think children are violent and starting to behave like animals
Almost half of Britons think children are violent and starting to behave like animals, a Barnardo's survey suggests.
The children's charity says the research suggests society holds a negative view towards children despite the majority being well behaved.
Of the more than 2,000 people questioned by ICM Research, 44% said young people were becoming feral.
Barnado's chief executive Anne Marie Carrie said it was "depressing" so many were ready to give up on children.
The survey revealed that:
49% agreed children are beginning to behave like animals
Almost 47% thought youngsters were angry, violent and abusive
One in four said those who behaved badly were beyond help by the age of 10
Whilst 36% thought children who get into trouble need help, 38% disagreed
