Sports clubs etc take money to join which is all very well if your family has that kind of disposable income. There's a skate park but some adults seem to object to kids wasting their time playing. The bmx track has just been turned in to offices so they hang around in gangs and some start causing trouble. Their parents might not actually know what they are doing-it's easy for a kid to get sucked in to things just to be part of a group.

Oh here we go-thugs were decent in the old days wouldn't harm a fly unless they asked for it. What were you doing going out with a thug?

The kids round here bleat that there is nothing to do and no-where to go but It is infact untrue. The Tory council spent 2 and a half million on a skate board park. Go up there any morning and it's a shyte hole of drug wraps, cigg butts, alcohol empties, used condoms etc. The decent kids can't get near it for the yobs who Intimidate them. It was nothing but a waste of money.
There is a bus that comes at night with pc's, computer games etc on board for them. To qualitfy to use the bus, they must give 5 hours a week in their community. They want the privilage of the bus but will not do the 5 hours asked of them.
A local Tory Councillor gave hours of him own time and money setting up a youth centre with equipment for them but no-one over 12 years old turns up.
There are karate, football, rugby etc etc clubs open at night and most are just not Interested. It's far more fun to hang around a late night supermarket and take-away goading the public.

I married the thug at 16 yrs old. Yeah yeah yeah... I had It all from my family what ever you are going to say. He wasn't a thug when I married him but he did get worse and became extremely violent and that's why I left and never went back.

One has already been dealt with by the courts and on friday, we will be in the public Gallery to see the other sentenced at last.

Well done to the two young WPC's who persued this to the bitter end and got them to court.

Good for you Julie. It's good to support your mates Hope all goes well on Friday.

Thanks Kathy... we are all going together for some food after the case to celebrate.
On a serious note... my friend will not go to the court unless I'm glued to her side. That is how much those yobs frightened her that night. When all the excuses have finished being made, people need to realise the effect they have on decent peoples lives.

Tomorrow is the day.

I have just nipped out to re-assure my friend as I heard that she had taken the night off work due to worry. She is not frightened of the court, the Officials, the Magistrates etc. Her fear is facing their attacker across the courtroom.
Anyone who makes excuses about these kids and bleat 'But they are only children' need to go and visit my friend who is scared out of her wits. Have a look at the effect these 'Children' haver had on her life.
I hope the sentence is severe in this case.

good luck tomorrow Julie!

I knew they would find them guilty as they were in the wrong, yes, the sentence was my concern, perhaps community service?

Good going Julie!
