England’s Daily Express reported on August 4 that “thousands of the worst families in England are to be put in ‘sin bins’ in a bid to change their bad behavior.” Ed Balls, the Children’s Secretary, has announced a 400 million pound plan to put Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in 20,000 homes in Britain, says the Express, “to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals.”
