When my older son first joined the police force he used to ferry these brats around from juvenile detention to Cobham Children's Court. He said virtually all of them were all bravado - however none of them were afraid of the system. They all thought the courts were a joke and everyone from judges to youth workers always believed all the crap they came up with. The only ones who didn't were the cops. Sure, a lot of kids have had bad childhoods - and in these cases, the parents should be in the dock with the kids. The kids themselves would laugh about detention because they said that's where you learn all the good stuff. And they actually look up to the kid murderers.
I think they should forget about the juvenile detention system and just go with a good hiding, lol. That'll stop them because it's the only thing they're afraid of.
For a social experiment, I wonder what would happen if these parents were cut-off from their parenting payments or fined whenever these kids were left to their own devices?
I mean where are the parents of these young kids, some as young as 8 when their babies are out of their beds in the middle of the night?
No parenting, then no parenting/ or child related DHS payments!
Early intervention is vital, there's a girl at my daughter’s school, only 9 years old, stands 160cm, hurts other children regularly, locked supoort teacher in storeroom adjoining the classroom yesterday, and because she's Indigenous and her guardian is her grandfather ( parents are/were in prison) she gets away with murder.
She's untouchable, and knows it!
And our government wonders why we have a front-line worker shortage?
Teachers, police, nurses, ambulance officers, social workers...all those expected to cop this abuse on account of these kids having a troubled upbringing or being a minority race.
Enough is enough!
Thankfully it's just this one student at my daughter’s school, otherwise her schools amazing.
I can't imagine working in an especially disadvantaged school wherby 9 and 10 year olds were smoking in full view of staff during recess.
Did you know there are actually schools which allows their secondary students to smoke, wear whatever they like, in exchange for attendance?
Three I know of, St Joseph's in Geelong, Ballarat and Melbourne. Not a private school, they get free laptops, no school fees, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea provided Free. They can leave the grounds whenever they like, abuse substances and return to class, and so long as they're not harming others, it's all good.
Seeing is believing, a relative ( former teacher herself) of mine travels Australia performing school incursions, and there are some schools she leaves feeling absolutely shattered, knowing that some of these kiddos don't stand a chance.
Even before they've hit adolescence, they're headed for our prison system.
Time to make these kids and their no-hoper parents accountable.
If these kids are demonstrating delinquency in primary school, then perhaps "boarding schools " would be a better option.
Corrective boarding schools, like military schools.
Will be just like school camp, only with 4.5 meter fences with razor wire, brutal force military discipline, and work- factory's to exhaust them into submission and learn a trade.
Privileges as rewards only, not a given or expectation.
