If 'child' is old enough to be out on his own then he is old enough to be reprimanded as an adult should he miss behave.

If child is innocent and if he had been mine, I would have been grateful to the motorist for taking him away from the group of delinquents he was with.

The part of the l email that the sister wrought that worries me is where she says she does not care what 'low life' think about her. My interpretation is that she is calling anyone from main stream society (eg those disgusted by boys behaviour) as low life!! Ironic really, but worrying that she seems to disassociate herself from the rest of us.

It also seems very sad to me that someone in a council appointed position is so irresponsible as to seem to condone throwing snowballs at car.

So if some bloke driving along decided your son had done something wrong.. it would be ok for this bloke/stranger to grab your kid, put him in his car and take him to the police station.

Is that what your saying? At what point would this bloke have told you what he was doing.. at what point of being out looking franticly for your kid would you find out where he was. How quick would he get to the station and how quick would the police know where to contact you... What if your son struggled..

Your saying its OK for any stranger to grab your kid , put them in there car and take them to the police station if they think they have done somehting wrong?

You sure about that?

I agree any right minded person would be apologetic for there kids behaviour.. But to say you would let a stranger take your kid of the street... that beggers belief ..

Hear hear KP & Less. So next time you see a paedophile pushing a kid in his car, he can just tell you lot that agree with this guy's actions, that he's arresting him/her and is taking him to the cop shop for a misdemeanour, you gonna believe him and let him get on with it then?
