meaning, dont blame the parents for bringing up these terrible kids, blame the "local sevices" - the fail was the parents

LOL
The parents of these children was known to local services as trouble makes and law breakers for over 18 years. 7 years before the eldest was born. Then when the 2 boys get too much to handle they took them away and gave them to fostering in a small town. Where they quickly became known to local services and the police.

The failing is a society that excepts that local services are more responsible than parents. And parents who obviously are damaging their children.
