I have no objection to this lad being taken around the War Museum. For once, I think it's quite a good idea. The punishment seems to be fitting the crime making him help to clean up Oakhill park. All respect goes to his mother who had the integrity to report him to the police, as that couldn't have been easy for her.

I do object to kids who are always in trouble being taken on jollies abroad at our expense, as reported in national newspapers in the past. I don't think that this teaches them anything except that they can be delinquent and get a holiday out of it.

I reckon some examples of suitable punishments for the under aged would be:-

Mugging/ assault on elderly - compulsary work with elderly people via Age Concern, doing their shopping, home visiting and cleaning.

Animal Cruelty - 12 months compulsary voluntary work at RSPCA

Drinking and smashing their bottles in the streets - Compulsary street cleaning...

I would especially like to see the street cleaning thing....
