I write to say a big well done to the youngsters who I witnessed on March 16 searching Little Downham for the missing teenage boy (as reported on Page 5 of last week’s newspaper).

So many people are too quick to judge the young people today and to see these youngsters with their torches walking the streets of Little Downham on a dark Sunday evening helping with the search is totally commendable.

The parents of these young people should be immensely proud of their offspring as I was and they don’t even belong to me.

Well done to you all.

The youth of today aren’t all bad.
