Why don’t the parents knock into his parents house all at once?
Or why don’t the kids all get him together, like they did in the old Disney movies when one kid was bullying them all.
I know it’s easy for me to say that while I’m sitting miles away from it, but surely collectively there is something that they can do if they put their heads together.

A local scumbag I knew growing up eventually got arrested and served a few months because he robbed 2 13 year olds at knife point.
Dude was 18-20 ish at the time so right scumbaggy behaviour. Not sure what ever came of that guy.
Don’t mess with kids. Jesus Christ. You can’t get much lower
Christ, what a story. Don’t you sometimes feel that the universe plays with us, forcing us to want entirely the wrong thing (such as swift and condign vigilante action)?
This made me think of a fairly recent case of a lad knifing to death an intruder in his house, wasn’t that in Wexford? Sympathy all round until it was revealed that this was a mini-scrote ruining everyone’s lives around him since he was about five, an old hand with the gardai etc etc. Then it became more of a case of possible murder, I think. (I guess with Ireland being so scantily populated, isolated crimes remain prominent in the mind and the impression forms that we are living in a war zone run by twerps in track suits and those peculiar white socks.)
I remember similar stories a few years back. A chat to a Sinn Fein councillor resulted in another chat and the situation righted itself shortly afterwards.
Wtf is the country being allowed to descend into?? Guards should be ashamed of themselves letting that shite go on on their patch and I don’t wanna hear the “there’s fuck all they can do” bollix… in my time they would have taken you up a lane and kicked the shit outta you and if you complained to your parents you’d get a thick ear for drawing the guards on you
>”I told the guards about the situation,” this parent said. “They said that this young fella is all mouth and he wouldn’t actually hurt anybody. I told them a threat will turn into a promise one of these days and there’s a first time for everything. It’s not a risk I’m willing to take with my son anyway.
So the Gardai are refusing to take threats with a knife seriously. Always ask for a pulse number when you’re reporting stuff, folks. It makes it harder for the guards to fob you off when you inconvenience them with work. I honestly wonder how someone could be proud to be a Garda these days.
The only reason kids are doing this is because they know they face no repercussions for their actions. They know they can do whatever they want and they will never be challenged for it because people don’t want to be charged with assault for taking matters into their own hands.
Most of my friend group are eastern europeans from Romania, Poland, Russia. When I talk to them about this, they say that back home if some kid was annoying people by playing music loudly on a bus for example, it’s socially acceptable to go up to them and tell them to shut up. If they refused, you could expect some aul lad in his 60’s to give them a boot up the hole.
If some kid was stealing from another kid, you could guarantee that a group of lads would intervene and give them a bollocking and the police would probably look the other way.
Here, if someone laid a hand on someone else’s kid, or if you intervened in any way, you can expect to be dragged to court for assault charges.
I think as a society there is zero respect in terms of adhering to a social contract anymore. Back in my parents generation in the 60’s, kids knew that if you acted a certain way, you could expect your elders to put you in your place. You wouldn’t dare to act out of line in public as a kid because you knew that your neighbour would probably beat you with their belt, drag you back to your parents, and then your parents would thank yerman and continue where he left off.
Not saying it was ideal, but fear is one of the best motivators and these kids nowadays aren’t stupid and know that they can do whatever the fuck they want and face no consequences.
It’s pretty simple what to do.
According to one of the parents, he put his hand down another boy’s trousers. Report that to Tusla and the Gardai as a sexual assault.
He will likely get convicted and it will absolutely ruin his life. Yeah, he won’t get prison but he will get probation. He will get a safety plan that will likely follow him around until he’s 18 at least. He probably won’t be allowed be in a room unsupervised with children more than a year younger than him. He may not be allowed in school. He won’t be allowed to join sports teams or youth clubs. He most certainly will not be allowed to regularly wander around the streets by himself.
And in a small town, it will follow him around forever. The actual cause of the conviction will be forgotten but everyone will still know him as that lad who molested that small boy. Let’s see whether his gang of thug friends want to hang around with a convicted molester. I somehow doubt it.
Now I know what you’re thinking, “this is Ireland, that’s never going to happen”. But it does. Regularly. In fact, the Supreme Court just ruled, in a case involving another young boy, that the crime of sexual assault is objective and does not require any evidence of a sexual motive. What was that boy’s offence? He spanked another boy’s bottom.
Why haven’t a group of local Wexford lads beat him around the place yet. There were similar incidents where I’m from back home with delinquents and the secondary school footballers usually gave them a slapping. Maybe it’s a country thing where people all know each other .
Feral little shit must have the most obnoxious parents as well.
I think locals need to come together and have a ‘chat’ with this little fucker.
