Blair to tackle 'menace' children (BBC)
Thursday, 31 August 2006, 18:01 GMT 19:01 UK

Tomorrow's potential troublemakers can be identified even before they are born, Tony Blair has suggested.
Mr Blair said it was possible to spot the families whose circumstances made it likely their children would grow up to be a "menace to society".

He said teenage mums and problem families could be forced to take help to head off difficulties.

He admitted many people might be uneasy with the idea of intervening in people's family life but said there was no point "pussy-footing".

4. Start with your own family, TONY.
Your actions have killed far more people than any 'troubled youth' have.
