What happens when eleven year old Ferdinand whacks his playmate Bruno with a stick in a neighbourhood park and knocks his front two teeth out? Is it just pure innocence and part of kids growing up or simply a case of backyard bullying? It is important for parents to set the right example for their kids. Do we see ourselves through the eyes of our children and want the next generation to be a breed of our missing childhood, for better or worse?

Review - Rockabye, Melbourne Theatre Company

In the world of fashion from the bling bling era there seems to be a new phase emerging in Botoxland and that is to kidnap a child from a third world nation and place it in an environment it is not familiar with under the guise of opportunism.

Or is it merely the present norm of celebrity persona to display such souls as trophies hanging off the forearms as fashion accessories? However noble this act may seem, the featherbrains of the likes of the Hilton femme fatale and The Material Girl, make this procedure not much different to our stolen generation.
