Default What is wrong with children these days???

As title, I was driving home from work last night and saw three or four kids at the side of the road, as I passed them I heard a big bang, checked my mirror and saw them running off, I pulled over and checked my car and they had thrown a house brick at it putting a hole and a massive crease in the rear quarter, If I wasn't 7 months pregnant I'd have gone after them and run the little twats over, what is wrong with them?? there were bricks all over the road so they had obviously made a night of this new venture, I'm just glad I was in the daily driver and not the RS and that it hit the shell and not the windscreen or window. I don't know what the country is coming to when kids see that as funny.
Went to the police but there is nothing they can do.

of course the Police can't do nothing. The kids weren't doing 37 in a 30. Cunts, their parents fault.

half the kids these days need some discipline kicked into them.

They arent being punnished or taught boundarys and consequence of thier actions at home or school so no wonder they are turning into selfish cunts who do what they want when they want.

toughen up prisons to be like old style work camps etc and it will give them the shock and discipline they need for the ones who can be "saved".

Sadly its 30 years of degeneration in parenting standards and morals causing it, and its going to take probably that long to sort it but not without drastic changes in policy and law from the government, and quite frankly, the current standard of MP's is such that none of them have the fucking balls to make decisions that are in the long term interests of this country rather than decisions to get them re-elected in 4 years.

Thats what I thought, they can't have been more than 12/13 years old and it was fairly late at night, I'd have wanted to know where my child was.

The problem is, it's throwing bricks at 13. But, come 16 they'll be dealing drugs and stabbing people. Unless of course their parents change their ways, which I doubt.

Glad you're ok. The little bastards have no respect for other people or their property, which ultimately stems from their parents.

I think the kids nowadays should go back about 4 generations in time... They would get the shock of their lives as I would

When a child does something wrong now. Lets sit them down and talk about what you did wrong little Johnny,

Parent-You know its wrong to throw bricks at cars.

Johnny-*Big pause*.......No I didn't know.....

Parent-*In a soft kind voice* Well can you promiss Mommy that you won't do it again?

Johnny-*Big pause Again* ......... I promiss..........

Parent-You promis me what Johnny Sweetheart?

Johnny-*Big Sigh, pause, and talking uder his breath* ...........I promiss I won't throw bricks at cars anymore........

Parent-I hope you learned your lesson Johnny Sweetheart after this talk.

Johnny-*Sigh, pause and under his breath* Yeah me to......... *now happy* Can I go play with my toys and watch TV?!?!?!

Parent-Ok, but you can't watch The simpson's.

Johnny-*starts to cry and throwing a fit* But I wanna watch The Simpson's!!!!!!!!!!

Parent - OK OK ok you can watch The Simpson's Jeeze!

Thank you It could have been a lot worse, you are right about the respect thing, it won't have occurred to them that it would cost for repairs or my insurance excess (luckily my husband can repair it) it also won't have occurred to them that the distraction could have made me crash (luckily I'm very cool headed) the more I see of today's teenagers the more I want to keep my unborn child far away from today's society as I am afraid she won't be strong enough to not follow the pack. All we can do is steer her right and hope she will have enough of us both to be ok. Its a scary time indeed.

I blame the majority on the parents too, had the little shit round here constantly ringing my doorbell, his old man just laughed, so I returned the favour, on the hour every hour between 6pm and 4pm when he left for work for a week, he hasn't rang our bell since!!
Recently been told it's my fault his dad crashed his car and wrote it off on the way to work as he was so tired from me bell ringing, but as I said to the plod who don't see what they can do about it, I said it works both ways.
Best bit was his 14 month old car was uninsured and on finance.

the main problem is catching the little fuckers
then you might possibly eventually catch them and then you can't find their parents so they clog up a police cell
then the parents are retards who only had the kids so they could get a flat/house to live in for free
then the kids go before teh beak
the beak, being a daft old cunt, decides that it's because they are poor they can't get a job, so releases them into their parents care
and it goes on and on and on
then they kill someone
but they can't go to prison as they are too young, so have to stay at a cushy b&b where they get a playstation and open prison enviroment
and learn how to be a proper crook for when they are released

first thigns first, the parents should be responsible for their kids until they are 16, so if you kid does something that is punishable, you do the punishment, so if that means you getting locked up for 5 years, that's your lookout

secondly, time off for good behaviour
wtf? you go to prison because you've been an 'orrible little scrote, so you get banged up for 23 hours a day
if you misbehave, you get longer, if you are good and behave, you get out after your time is up, no on a tag, or after 2 minnutes because you've served so long before the trial date, you should have thought about that before you went and did the stupid thing you did to get banged up in the first place

then you come to reform
you want to learn a new skill? you go out in a chain gang and serve half your sentance doing graft, so that it bring home the meaning that in order to get a erward, you have to impart some sort of effort to gain it
then you can be let out for 1 hour a day to learn what you want to learn in a controled enviroment, as inside the prison walls

there you go, a set of rules and regs for the dojj party when it comes to power

it works in my house

Suppose your lucky it could have came through the window.

Taxi dirver who lives opposite me said he was coming back from Teeside airport on the A19 @ Easington services with a fare in and 2 young lads dropped a few bricks off the top of the bridge and one went through the back window. Said there was a loud bang and glass everywhere.

Took the fare home with no back window in. Put him out of service for the rest of the night. Could have been worse if it hit the roof!

Need to be taught a lesson!

Little children have always been bad in places. When I was a kid we once stood at the top of my mates road in a snowy winter and threw ready made snow balls at cars passing by (30 road), one guy turned around came into the close of my mates house but we all locked the door, mate who's house it was answered with the chain and told him to fuck off whilst I was paranoid about my brand new green Nike air max classic outside the back. However as the house was for sale a number was on the board. We got a swift telling off big time.

We also used to throw stones at trains and tanker trains so much it made the papers but throwing stones/bricks at cars is really really dangerous. Some people do it off bridges so watch out. Feel sorry for you, hope its not that bad.

You live in Barnsley, it sounds like those kids were quite civalised as I was expecting you to say they tried car jacking you too

Seriously though I can only see the kids getting worse as the years roll by.

If I had been in the Rs they would have!!!! I was in the diesel so they probably weren't bothered. Its a funny thing though, when the police came with the sirens going it sounded like this dee daa dee daa in all honesty though I can't believe how bad things are getting, its the same at my work, if I ask someone for i.d I get a mouthful of abuse when they can't produce it, bring back national service!!!!!!

Glad your OK and it wasn't your decent car. Kids today talk of 'respect' but then show very little and they have no fear.

Know how you feel, some kids well young men!, had football outside some shops while I waiting in car and guess what it hit my car. When I questioned their intelligence they just give a soppy expression. Only a light tap on the car, but any common sense.
