The sad thing about this case is that a youngster has been injured after stealing property that is effectively a deadly weapon in the wrong hands and the driver of the vehicle will clearly have this in their conscious for a long time to come with horrible flash backs.
If he is only 15 a few years ago he might have had the opportunity of having fun at a Youth Club — current Council closure programme has put paid to that. How many more incidents will have to occur before the closure of activities shows the problems in the Council policy.
What’s sad about that? I didn’t have youth clubs around when I was young yet somehow never managed to steal a bike, car or anything come to think of it.
I am sure though this lad has relatives now telling everyone how it wasn’t his fault and how he was an angel and never did anyone any harm. Total cost of dealing with this accident should come from his+his parents pockets(quickly too not at £1.50 a month for the next thousand years). Parents then might start taking responsibility for their kids.
