[B Huey]

What can you say about this one?

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-16454315

10 year old from Orpington leaves a female teacher with a broken leg and dislocated knee cap, another with facial injuries.

[Eric Mc]

He's been arrested.

He's been charged.

What more to say?

What can I say? The brat needs flogging then have his arm broken to prevent him doing it again. This approach is somewhat more liberal to the approach I would prefer to take though.

So you don't thinL that the law should not be applied in this case?

As yet no mention of being a promising young footballer.

Does anyone else find the mental image of a 10 year old being dragged off by two policeman rather amusing?

[turbobloke]

The prospect of a 10 year old pupil committing offences like this is rather alarming.

As to being marched off by police - old enough to do the crime etc and the pupil is at the age of criminal responsibility. Some say the law is always right, right?

It is very alarming...In Hemel Hempstead there is a 'static-traveller' site up the road from where my junior school was/is.

At least one 'child' a year would be trialed but the headmaster was very strict as I understand it. Any foul play, you're out. Needless to say not one of the kids made it to Christmas still in school due to voilent behaviour.

I'm not saying this kid was a 'traveller' but I'm saying I can see how this sort of thing could happen. For the most deliquent children, its most often the teachers who care more for the children than their parents. This is what is sad about this story IMO...

I thought it was de rigueur these days to mention the race of the victims and attackers.

Or at least mention how much their house is worth

Given the current laws, he'll be taught you can get away with it.

Exactly, what comes after "arrested" and "charged"? I think in the case of guilt it's "tried" "convicted" "sentenced" and "punished". When those next four steps have occured we'll feel better.

No such certainty at all.

But I am sure they will look into his family background and examine other factors.

He's not been charged yet and may never be.

The CPS have to decide whether or not there is sufficient evidence and whether a prosecution is in the public interest before any charges are brought.

About the age of the bulger killers, so nothing new...

No not new but thankfully rare, for now. Primary school pupils assaulting teachers isn't uncommon but hospitalising two in the manner described is unusual.

Ah yes the old he's had a tough upbringing so should be allowed to do all this and more and then instead of a slap on the wrist, cause he's had a tough life we shall go and send him on holiday to make up for it.

What the hell happens to a kid to make them capable of stuff like this at such a tender age? Methinks a close look will suggest parents also in need of being arrested. Scary really - imagine what that kid will be like at 20...

At 20? Given the way this country has sunk, I'd imagine he'll be in and out of prison, committing crimes while out (and probably while in too). And sadly getting help from a politically-correct society that doesn't work.
Plot? Lost it.

Didn't used to be like this.
