I think it's good that he's getting guidance to keep him on the straight and narrow.
If however he sways off the straight and narrow, you can't say any of his victims are wrong to label him as a "Yob" or "****" if he earns that title.
As far as I'm concerned, call a spade a spade. Why didn't I turn to a life of crime, sexual assault, drink, drugs and end up in prison like a few of my school friends.
Perhaps it's because I made the choice to leave that route alone!
