No prison time for any of them. They are being told that there are no consequences for their actions.

I wonder how this went on for a month without anyone doing anything to stop them.

[Maelstorm]

So they are being held “responsible” by expecting them to pay money they will never pay and they don’t get any jail time. We will see these “kids” again when they have murdered someone.

[Maine Mariner]

I doubt our son will do that our home. He is an only child and to quote from Second Hand Lions, “the kid gets it all.”
Minus any monies we use for cruises, trips to Italy etc.

Youths? Children?

[Openurmind]

Happens here too. Trained Zombies.

[Vaduz]

Make their so called parents pay for the damages it’s only fair.

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear

This ain't the Beatles world anymore

[KarlInOhio]

Were these the children in question?

[Bubba_Leroy]

Feral youts.

There needs to be corporal punishment in this country. A good public caneing would go a long way in discouraging this sort of behavior.

Misleading Headline:

Dad says son, 13, and pals trashed £1,200,000 listed home ‘because it’s haunted’

[Chewbarkah]

Well I imagine they have learned their lesson (demonic behavior has no consequences).

A society that aspires to civilization would put them all down immediately.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

They should be made to clean up and help fix the mess working an entire school break and weekends.

[Rappini]

Convict the parents and throw their A$$es in jail.

[oldasrocks]

This calls for castration of the children and their parents.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Were they natives or imports?

[FLT-bird]

Force them and their parents to pay full restitution, AND give them prison time. That would be a just sentence.

[silverleaf]

Their parents should pay the ENTIRE BILL

[metmom]

Six were ordered to pay £1,500, or just over $1,800, in compensation and given a 12-month referral order. In this UK community sentence, young offenders work with a community panel and agree on a contract to address their behavior...

What an abomination and perversion of justice.

Do adult crime, do adult time.

Especially once kids reach puberty, hold them just as accountable as adults or this will never stop.

might the logic be that this was the deductible and the rest covered by insurance?

Not good logic but logic by a liberal judge.
