SIR – The T&A front page article (April 20) regarding motorcycle riders who are desecrating graves in Idle Cemetery shows how respect has declined over the years.

The young should be taught to respect those around them and property.

Sadly this is not being done in my view at home or at school. I am sorry to say but we are failing as a society, in my opinion.
