| Youth crime has now become so serious especially in Queensland that towns are under siege by groups of young teens some as young as 8 or less with machetes, knives, guns, bats, etc. They are stealing cars and usually smashing them, breaking and entering often with violence in either home invasions or business premises, damaging property, bashings of old people waiting for a bus or old people in homes, students at school or other teens in the street etc. more likely being a younger student that is unable to protect themselves or they attack in groups one young person. We have one young girl now in hospital who is unlikely to survive due to the beating she received from a larger girl who kicked and smashed her head continuously on the concrete. The girl she attacked was autistic but she had it filmed and uploaded. No conscience or morals or common decency shown. The go soft attitude has not worked as these thugs are let out on bail laughing to go right back to doing a criminal act within minutes sometimes. Now there are calls for harsher punishment as people are fed up but the go soft brigade are out in force again saying this is not the way to go. Their soft approach has not worked after many years and now these young thugs think they are untouchable. I am in favour of harsher penalties, a no bail rule and parents having to be made accountable for children under 16 who roam the streets at night and commit criminal acts. Harsh consequences has to be bought in to stem this violent behaviour. Maybe then they will not think it is so funny. | ||
