I hope my blog will prompt others, so that we can see a range of community and individual responses to ‘moral delinquency’.

My grandmother sat on the SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON MORAL DELINQUENCY IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. I beliece becaus eof her connections to the Catholic Women’s League. It was well before my time, of course, but one family “story” is that when asked what qualified her to sit on this committee she replied “I have five delinquents of my own” – quite ironic as my father, aunt and uncles were brought up very strictly indeed. I will be very interested in any contemporary recollections that get posted here.
