Thread: What if the Eggs are Stones?

Sorry, prob. with net connection so can't see the video but to be effective in stopping it I would want to know why they are doing it and work with that. They aren't just doing it because they are little tools althought it may seem this way. I suspect it may be more about their own up bringing. To punish them and put them under lock and keys means they will learn more about how to misbehave and become better at crime, I doubt we want this. To attack the root of the problem gives you a hope at ceasing it.

Kinda have to agree and disagree. Yes, upbringing is a major part...but then again I had a strong, disciplined upbringing, went to one of the top private schools and did some silly things as a youngster...like putting rocks on the road and cars having to stop and get them off so they could continue ( we lived out on large acreage). One time, as we hid in the bushes, a car stopped, person got out and yelled that they knew who we were.
We panicked , then as they drove off, we watched from the bushes and saw them put the indicator on to go down our street...at this stage we were petrified.....thankfully they continued and we never did it again. The point being we knew what we were doing was wrong, though we scared of being caught out by our parents. In this case as these kids continually do what they do.........are old enough to know better.........they are definately tools.

Now, looking at the root cause, if the parents dont give a rats, then you have to take direct action. If that means they are under lock and key and off the street, or if by chance they are out and about and strangers appear from nowhere and give them a flogging within an inch of their lives, they just may learn something. I have a 10 yr old son, if he were out egging or throwing stones at peoples houses....he would know perfectly well he was doing something wrong. If I caught him, not only would he know he was doing something wrong....he would also **** his pants because he would go from knowing what he was doing wrong to knowing what the consequences were for doing wrong in the first place.

In a perfect world, these rejects and their parents would be put on their own island to terrorise, kill, maim, and annoy each other ,

Last time a kid threw stones at my car I reefed on the hand brake and did a 180 in the suburban street.
I then reved the car to red line and dropped the clutch right up to the driveway where I again pulled the hand brake. By that time half the neighbours had come out so I openeed the door holding my head while screaming (Front windows were open).
Told em I was going to sue for the head injury.
Parents were rather worried about it whill I called the cops.

Pity the stone only hit the hub cap so I couldn't pretent beyond the formal complaint.
The young kids were in tears by then at least.
