One tenant does yell "hooligans," and mother does nod when the boy asks if televisions are being stolen. But perhaps the key moral passage is the rather blank "Mama explains about rioting.

Finally Kevin dares to mutter, "My mother's dead and always will be. You're not my mother." Poor little fellow, he must be punished-flogged until his body is one deep bruise-then consoled. Brother Lavin carries Kevin to bed, in a father's loving embrace...
