Why can’t they do something prosocial, like helping old people or picking up litter?

How much of that did you do as a kid on school holidays? Don't spout horseshit.

I think it points to a lack of good pastimes for kids. Maybe we need more sport clubs and other kid friendly activities. Maybe we need an ebike park to get them off the roads.
