UK riots 2011: Child looters aged 11 and 12 let off with slap on the wrist | Mail Online.
Maybe, by law, these kids are too young to be prosecuted but they should be named and shamed and have their pictures published alongside their parents.
Personally I don’t believe that they are too young to be prosecuted and if necessary locked up. They are for the most part old enough to know right from wrong and they already think that they are untouchable.
Too many parents are saying that they can’t control their own kids. Can’t keep them at home and in bed at a reasonable hour. Recently on a TV news program one parent was saying that he isn’t allowed to lock up his own kids, isn’t allowed to hit them, was asking how he was supposed to control his kids when all their mates are out doing god knows what.
Well our PC society has tied his hands in the same way that we tied the hands of our police and our courts. Its time to come up with a new way of dealing with underage criminals.
Time to introduce a “SUCK IT AND SEE” option for parents and their kids. Lets let them spend a weekend in prison. Let them experience what prison life is about and see where their actions are taking them.
