Make the parents pay they made there kids feral as for the kids they need to be put in a home away from there parents. This is the sort of scum the island is getting more of
Slap on the wrist and £50 fine each you watch
Can’t fine a child, as they are too young to be liable for any debts.
Maybe but sure they will have iPhones, Nike,PS5 etc they should suffer consequences of lose. They are old enough to also work to clean up and repair some damage
Nike is for poor people
This is why borstal should never have been closed.
I agree, after two years in borstal back in the early 80’s I came out very different and then later after a 5 year stretch followed by another 3 years banged up I can say it didn’t do me any harm.
Bring back the birch.
Hope the magistrates scare the crap out of them so they learn some respect of these old buildings.
Sadly, that also depends if the parents give a damn though. Parents should have to foot the bill & take more responsibility for what their kids are doing tbh.
I’m not saying that’s easy to do, but might make them check more.
Yes let’s hope the magistrates are wearing their Halloween costumes, that will definitely scare them!
Parents are prob scared of them, little thugs have no respect as people are not allowed to discipline the children now .
Sad life .
Make their parents pay, they should be responsible for them at these ages.
Cut their parents benefits and move them off the island, the island does not
need these type of people living here.
Deport them to Rwanda.
All the parents are not on benefits
Well those parents can pay their share of the damage value.
Do young offenders institutions no longer exist in UK
These scumbags will never be any good, they are Damaged goods.
Totally agree Paul, let’s go back to the old days where we transported children to Canada, Australia & New Zealand as forced child labour.
Can’t think why we ever stopped the process?
Nab tower without food
Little gits.
Make them/the parents pay for all the damage – in cash.
They should be named and shamed because they will probably be let off with a caution
Well we all know they are in court tomorrow so pop along and see them
Got better things to do with my time than spend it on that scum. Especially when the outcome won’t be what they deserve.
Bring back the birch.
Name and shame the scroats… YOI for 12 months. No F chance.
Or at least name and shame the parents,bringing shame to your family still the biggest incentive to sort lives out,if they think they are big enough to break the law their shoulders should be wide enough to be named and shamed…
Whilst I hope that they all learn from their dreadful actions I also hope that they never have to meet any of you lot in the rest of their lives your attitudes are disgraceful !
Oh boo boo. It’s hand wringing fools like you who have dragged this country into the gutter. I suppose we should just let kids have their fun without consequences eh?
Your attitude stinks, that’s why your filthy woke ideology allows scum to infest our peace……Get yourself sterilised, we don’t want more of your lot to breed….
In the end what happened in Ireland people will take the law into there own hands God help them when it happens. Even the girls got tard and featherd.iy will happen here
The answer is to garnish the parents income at source, that’s £33,333 each family. Keep taking the money until the bill is fully paid. They can’t be all bad parents, but they are still ultimately responsible for the financial burden the victim now faces. I don’t know what the answer is in terms of punishments for this bunch of undesirables, our courts seem to be almost farcical now. They lock up shoplifters for stealing, but let violent and sexual offenders walk out the door. Locking these idiots up will for a few months would be a good start.
They will each be sentenced to a community resolution, which in effect is nothing. A caution on their record which makes no difference to them. I don’t think the parents should pay the fine as they did nothing wrong, unless they were present for the offence which is a different matter. Unfortunately the insurance will have to be claimed, and no lessons will be learned by these kids going forward. The justice system is no longer fit for purpose and needs to be overhauled to lock up offenders like this as a means of real punishment and deterrent.
Whats the point nothing is going to happen to them and who pays for all of it …ohh we do..
Instead of building houses as a way out of financial crisis, why aren’t we building prisons and staffing them with life coaches and psychiatrists?
I think you know the answer to that question. Life coaches …
The only “life coaches” these kids need are all working in the army and that is where these kids should be sent. Bring back national service.
The army don’t want scum, they want potential talent and patrinisom because they care for their country,…The scumbags wouldn’t be of any use….
Unless they want cannon fodder
Parents should get there benifits stopped and should make a new law that they are not allowed to start driving test until age of 25 years old perhaps. Wow what a shame
Parents no idea where there vermin are make the parents pay,
Lock them up and throw away the key
Name them, and shame their parents into taking more responsibility for their vandal offspring. And birch them for good measure.
Drill holes in their throats like this cartel execution video I saw on 4chan one time lol
All scum
Want custodial sentence
Make the parents pay the full cost of both the repairs, court costs and police time, these feral scum should be named and shamed the parents should also be held resonsible for the pathetic upbringing of their spawn
