Is your child a tagger?

Is your child a tagger?

I think it’s time for us all to stand back and ask ourselves that very question. It looks like Columbo, The Equalizer, Inspector Morse and Van der Valk were all employed on this mystery, as it’s well and truly 'case solved'.

Just look at those telltale signs, the black book, the backpack and the gloves. It seems so obvious now! The article on Santa Clarita, California comes with helpful tips for any eagle eyed mother or father. Here are just a few so you know what to look out for:

1. Does your child have large quantities of magic markers in various colours?
2. Does your child have large quantities of ‘Hello my Name is’ Stickers?
3. Is your child between 13 and 21?
4. Does your child associate with other people who exhibit the same traits? These will be you child’s ‘tagging crew’.

Don’t say you haven't been warned. It could be your son or daughter serving the double life sentence on Alcatraz if you don’t keep your eyes open!
