 Broken homes are a major cause of      
 rising delinquency among children,     
 according to a report out today.       
                                        
 The report bz Lord Tonzpandy, chairman 
 of the National Children's Home, says  
 cruelty to children and child desertion
 are on the increase, and so iu the     
 number of children in trouble with the 
 law.                                   
                                        
 It concludes that a disturbed family   
 background is much more likely than    
 violence on television to lead         
 youngsters into delinquency.
