You really think so?

I've worked with these type of kids[1], and 9 times out of 10 the parents are as bad, or if not worse. Part of the reason I chcked that job was the amount of damage they were doing to my bike when parked outside the unit. When I told the boss he simply said "park it further away, they're too lazy to walk far to damage it". I parked it at home and didn't bother going to work any more... problem solved.

[1] A horrible thankless job that I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Scum like that laugh at the threat of court action and won't pay the fines even when they get them - it's like a running challenge to see how many they can skip payment on at any one time. The cheapest way to deal with problem kids like this costs 75p each, and a soldier with a good aim.

Depends on the kid and the family. It's gotta be worth a try for nowt.

Why a good aim? You only need to stand far enough away to avoid getting blood on your shoes.

thanks for the support of outright terror & revenge guys..

I've tickled the car with with a bit of t-cut and it does look a tiny bit better. I reckon another half an hour and lots of rubbing will make it almost invisible.

It sounds like north yorkshire police have responded very well & been very understanding/supportive. To be honest, vic is more angry with the headmaster. I've mentioned before just how incompetent this guy is - he doesn't give a crap, just sits in his office and keeps his head down until ofsted come, at which point he excludes all the worst kids from the school. Then when ofsted give another average score and disappear, he brings all the bad kids back in. It's a breeding ground for thugs and criminals, and the head teacher is pouring petrol on the flames by putting these little f*ckers before his staff. Staff are verbally abused on a daily basis and attacked once to twice a week... This is starting to turn into a rant, but the bottom line is there's no consequences for these kids, so scratching a car gets you a 2 day holiday (exclusion) from school and thats about it.


Just waiting for the police to report back on whether they're going to prosecute after taking the kids in for questions/statements/general scare.

I think if vic earned more, enjoyed her job and had an old banger, she wouldn't have taken this so personally, but because she earns bugger all, detests her job and can only just afford this one little luxury in her life, it's hit her quite hard, especially after how down she's been.

Thanks to blue pete, davepreston and the woozle for advice everyone else, feel free to start another thread giving details of how you'd take the law into your own hands

You want to know how to wire up a high voltage tazer circuit? Run that through the bodywork and let them try key it again...

If the little ****s parents have household insurance actions by the familly are covered usually by a third party liability that you have to have these days, It is probably worth at least asking for the details and getting a solicitor to write strong letter to his parents.

Just cause the **** is a **** doesnt mean the rents are.....

My experience is the opposite (as said a thousand times on here) I work in a secondary school and find that actually the majority are lovely. We were discussing/working out the other day that we reckon 1% are trouble makers, we have nearly a 1000 pupils.
I was worried when I got the job, but our teenagers have proved me wrong. And this last week with Years 11 and 13 leaving has been very emotional, for staff and students - Good luck to a fabulous bunch of kids!

Depends on the area of course, but many inner city schools are as I've mentioned unfortunately. My mother used to teach in those secondary schools and although she doesn't take crap from kids, she was the only one who didn't, the others were just bullied into "submission"

Anyway as Paul has said this is besides the point in hand really!

Just a wee word on "scroats" and the like. A while ago my kids were outside playing in their garden and I heard screaming and shouting. Going out to investigate I see one young gentleman with my daughters hair grasped in his hand, bending her over, about to boot her in the face, again. I "reacted" and ended up getting charged with "Assaulting a minor".
A few days later I went to his parents house and err explained the situation to his father and the charges were dropped, fortunately enough, but sometimes a clear head and rational thinking are needed. Just a word to the wise, sometimes the system is on the wrong side.
