Mind you, it's an interesting idea - the use of minors placed at strategic points in order to discourage antisocial behaviour in adults: graffiti problems? Place a five-year-old on a street corner! Prostitution? Send a gaggle of kids into Soho! Gambling issues: bandage a child up and place him or her next to the video-roulette wheel in William Hill, a tear welling helpfully in its eye, bandaged arm thrust outwards - "Yes, you, mister, Mr Gambling man - instead of gambling, pay for my war-wounded arm to be set and saved!"
