My Daughter was an Angel but my Son , earlt teens, was brought home by the Police after saving a friend sliding down the Port Jack cliffs. Getting drunk and falling into Laxey river, befriending a troubled kid at Primary school to try to integrate him and getting strangled by him!!! Call to the school to explain and separate them.!!! So, not always able to track their every move. For a humorous view that Kids don't always understand the consequences of their actions.... UTube Bob Mortimer, ''Theft and Shrubbery''. Shows the difference in Kids and Adult thinking? Youngsters do things in groups they wouldn't think of doing on their own. Thanks for being realistic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in sheltered housing a few years ago and this type antisocial behaviour is unacceptable. I think you may state the obvious above without any thought of the effect this type of behaviour has on residents. Oh I realise that, by their very nature, fears are usually irrational (and people sometimes don't worry about things they should). But pointing out that it's irrational is part of dealing with it and reassuring those being pestered that it's just some stupid kids trying to get a rise out of them, rather than someone casing the joint should be done as well as dealing with the kids for being so insensitive.

Fred the shred Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 How do you know it is some stupid kid getting a rise out someone who perhaps has a good reason to be cautious there are a lot of weird people about. In the day the Police and to some extent the public knew who the bad apples were now we have no idea it is past time we knew who was coming to our Island. Just this week a person who had committed a crime was said to have come to he Island for a new start well that worked out well and it is not the first time I have seen this comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fearful of someone shining a torch into your front room is pretty rational in my book. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auntie Depressant Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Those pesky kids have also turned the no entry signs around on the exit from Onchan Precinct car park so it looks as though you can’t exit. It was like Whacky Races down there earlier. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 21 hours ago, Passing Time said: Boot camp would be the best solution by far. Pretty sure there are enough ex military personal living here on the island that would relish that job Boot camp style education doesn't work either now. The little scrotes know that you can't make them do anything or lay so much as a finger on them. The slightest contact is assault and the coppers are there in minutes. I've seen ex military and retired police last only a few weeks in Island schools before jacking it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of other ways to inflict pain without leaving a mark 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I mean, the people in charge of everything right now were the last generation to be regularly beaten in school and they clearly all turned out alright. All any naughty 12 year old needs is a good dose of discipline and they'll be a leader of industry in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
