'A trio of seven-year-olds were found to have burgled a house in Dursley, and a nine-year-old committed racial abuse on the Hester's Way estate.
Two six-year-olds committed assaults occasioning actual bodily harm, in Gloucester city centre and Hucclecote.
None of the children were prosecuted as the age of criminal responsibility is 10. But all the allegations were investigated and the child involved found to be responsible, Gloucestershire police confirmed.'
anyone else sickened by the fact theyre getting away with that kinda stuff? yeh theyre under 10, but theyre not 'naughty children' theyre proper little criminals! no way they didnt understand the severity of what they were doing! i bet everyone of them will be commiting crimes as adults!
'A force spokeswoman said: "The way in which children who break the law are dealt with depends on the seriousness of their alleged offence.
"For example, if a child was found stealing a chocolate bar or behaving in an anti-social way, then a meeting would be held with the child's parents or guardians to ascertain any welfare issues.'
correct me if im wrong, but id say those crimes WERE pretty serious! burglary and sexual assault is not liek stealing a chocolate bar! plus i read early about a seven year old who was tied to a tree by other chidren who he didnt know but it wasnt like they just tied his hands behind it or something, the report said 'Bradley McLachlan had the rope wrapped around his body, including his neck'
wtf is up with children today? am i the only one that realises that letting these kids off is making the world more dangerous by the day? by the time they grow up i bet people will be terrified to even leave there houses! why does law enforcement suck so bad? the police are hopeless
sunnydayz- fair enough they cant exactly put them in jail but they should be put in the young offenders place or at least get SOME form of punishment and personally i think the parents should have to do community service every time their kids commit that sort of crime cuz just having the police turn up and tell them they have a badly behaved child obviously isnt enough to make them sort out their kids
