Will a´gree Cashy the punishment has to fit the crime.What i am saying is if i go past somebody and two people are having a go at each other then i will walk on by.If however there is a bunch having a go at one single person then i am gonna butt in

Sparkologist, I couldn't agree with you more, these kids think they're untouchable, a taste of their own medicine and a bit of humiliation thrown in!

There needs to be an urgent revision in the law to allow the under 16's to be punished. They are fairly untouchable at the moment and they know it. There also needs to be a ban on selling video phones or giving video phones as presents to teenagers. The ordinary mobile phone is not the problem here it's the ones with video/photograph facility.

If I ever found out that my 14 year old sister was involved in anything like this I would give her a good hiding and sod the consequences. I would probably have to queue up behind the rest
of the family in order to do it.:D

I watch Jackass but still don't have the urge to go and video myself beating random people up.. :p

What they need to do is burn all chavs, and then there will be no more violent and down right stupid kids, only normal ones.. woo!

Re: happy slapping
 

in the uk we have a watershed of around 9pm i think it is before violent shows can be on tv or ones with bad language

this however dosnt seem to apply to cable tv like ntl or sky etc as i have often watched cable channels during the afternoon and early evening that contain stuff you wouldnty normaly see until after the watershed on normal tv

seems to be a lot of programs lately that rely on people eating other peoples sick ( dirty sanches ) or raw animals of various variety to get viewers ( fear factor)

i thought normal terestrial tv was safe until along came ime a celebrity get me here came along

its one thing to go swimming or crawling through leeches and maggots but is it realy needed that peope must be subjected to watching folk eat all sorts of live cratures or their body parts

ive got a pretty sick sense of humour but see no apparent value or comedy of things like this especialy when they appear while you are channel surfing at tea time

yes we do have a choice if to watch it or not but if these programs like jackass , dirty sanches and fear factor etc wernt allowed on tv or put on at a much later time they wouldnt be available for kids to copy cat in the first place

T.V is bringing up a lot of children these days as a lot of parents simply leave their kids in front of a TV set and as long as they are quiet they dont care what they watch

bad parenting and bad TV create bad kids is teh way i see it

I agree with Lettie as far as banning the video/camera mobiles, though a lot of teenagers probably use them as intended, I think again it comes down to discipline, bring back corporal punishment and teach these thugs some respect.

Re: happy slapping
 

Unfortunately in this country the do gooders seem to take the high ground-poor little souls who have come from a deprived background etc. If thats the case then what the hell are they doing with expensive mobile phones to wreak this havoc. The case of the sixteen year old girl last week on the news & in the Sunday paper today of a 36 yr old cancer sufferer who was also attacked seemingly because the effects of chemo had caused her hair loss & was taunted with the phrase slaphead.
On the other hand I see that Vodaphone is bringing out a basic mobile with no frills, just phone & text, no ability to download other things, no camera & with larger keys for ease of use. Wonder if basic will become the new chill out tool?
