Was on the bus and all I could hear was load banging upstairs. The “kids” came downstairs and apparently they stole the shatter hammers upstairs and wanted downstairs’ ones aswell. They smashed the glass, ripped it off and went straight for the bus shelter when they got off. The bus driver did absolutely nothing and I can’t blame him.

  1. Any minor caught behaving like this should have his/her children’s allowance stopped. Watch the useless parent finally know exactly where and what their teen is up to if they are threatened financially.

  2. weak law for these criminals..and no, stealing bikes, throwing stones at others, and cursing people is not normal! Decent people don’t do that!
    Sorry ministers, they aren’t kids, and they need to pay taxes as well.

  3. I’d love to know if the softly softly approach to juvenile delinquency has worked anywhere…because it doesn’t seem to be working in Ireland.

  4. True story, had a conversation with a neighbour (remember all the people banging on about just talk to your neighbour?…), because of some beef about his kids.

    Not bad kids, not delinquent, not doing anything truly awful, just engaging in behaviour that was annoying and lacking in consideration.

    He actually uttered the phrase, with zero self awareness of its implications “my kids will do what they want…”

    Like I said, these kids are far from the path of being hardened criminals, never mind juvenile deliquents, and yet, you can’t help but wonder…

    Go hard on policing/no they have nothing to do, the usual cliche’d debate based on that it’s other lower class peoples kids

    It might be yours…. (collectively, not singling anyone out here)

    Do you really know?

    Just a thought…

  5. Where I work they steal all the time be we can’t get them arrested cuz they’re minors, they’re literally allowed to steal because they’re under 18, absolute madness

  6. Remember the days when you’d get a beating for stepping out of line? Remember the days when if the Gards couldn’t/wouldn’t do it, the local Ra would have a “chat” with them? Gone are the days but I wouldn’t mind seeing some young fellas gettin a boot up the hole

  7. The country needs some vigilantes. Like a couple guys who dress up like ridge & podge and beat the shit out of the lpunks.

  8. New comer of Ireland. Was told kids here could stab a person in the neck and get away with it, but if the person ever tries fighting back/defend themselves they would be prosecuted instead. Please tell me this isn’t real.

  9. I was at a seminar years ago in Italy and the guy talking, said you should have a license to have kids, after all you need a license to have a dog and a TV. He is right, you should have to complete a psychological course before you have kids.

  10. Shit parenting. Shit government.

    Should be more activities for young people to do in this country apart from wandering the streets, the kids are bored so they get into trouble, they suffer no consequences for their actions because their deadbeat parents couldn’t give a shit where they are or who they’re hanging around with

  11. We always said back home that misbehaving of a generation of kids is to be blamed on few years older kids.

    When I was on my early teens, behaving like a moron would end up in getting beating up by older teens. Misbehaving by older teens would end up by being beaten by people in early 20s. If one group stops caring what younger ones are doing, all the future generations will with chain reaction behave like complete morons and you end up with entitled little rats like these that would anywhere outside their own country, or possibly even town, sit on a bench in silence not to get trashed by the locals.

  12. It’s bizarre, everyone is complaining about it and last week a high position Garda was in the radio saying how Dublin is grand, it’s not worse than any other country.

    Most of the people ruling the country don’t even know what happens when you don’t use a car to go and come from your home every day.

  13. More Gardai, stronger sentences, more prison space, more funding for schools in deprived areas to keep them in schools as long as possible.

    It’s insane the amount of criminality you can be involved in and get barely a slap on the wrist from the justice system in this country.

  14. That literally happens to bus stops in every country. At least that also happened in my homeland quite often.
