I think your talk like it never happens anymore is wrong. Spend some time watching gangs of kids in deprived areas where they think they aren't being watched (this sounds more creepy than I mean it to!). My recent experiences are taking my 9 year old to a skate park in st helier and time spent watching the kids from the estate near where we play polo.
You watch long enough you will see a big kid extorting something from a smaller kid... More often little toys, but bigger things still get taken. And the emotional loss of a bike to a poor kid is still the same.
Edit: I make it sound like it only happens in poor places, but I just think it's more noticeable in poorer places, basically kids are shits if they aren't looked after and taught right from wrong. Rich kids just the same.
