No excuse
I was driving along Eastgate this afternoon and as I passed three young boys (two of them on bikes) one of them threw something at my car so hard that I'm still not sure how they didn't break my window. It made a noise on the window like they had shot it. At the lights I turned left and made my way to the parking spaces behind them, jumped out of the car and asked them what the hell they thought they were doing. The two older boys on the bikes both said that it wasn't them, that it was the younger boy. They also said that it wasn't his fault because he has ADHD. I told them that he has no excuse for throwing something at my car. After a bit of an argument with them I told them that I was still waiting for an apology which I got. They then decided that it was because he hadn't taken his medication to which I suggested they take him home to his parents. One of the older boys said to the younger boy "Go home and take your f******* medication" to which i then told him off for swearing, he then said sorry.
I know what children with ADHD are like, I have worked with some, but I don't believe that there is any excuse for this sort of behaviour or for swearing.
