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.

we don't always agree polly, but yer bang on with that.

it just came back to me that if as kids we misbehaved on our way to or on our way home from school we got handed detentions especialy if we were wearing school uniforms or brought a bad light onto the school

i wonder if nordon handed out any punishment

i can remember on a few occasions where the whole of morning assembly was kept behind so that a member of public could do an ID parade and try and spot the kid that threw stones at their window or whatever it was the kid had done

I would agree with that, I have met several times myself.

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 ..

Think you should leave the kids to do what they want,you never know when you may need an alibi for manslaughter.

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?

Don't think anyone agrees with putting the lad in the car.
Kids need discipline and direction.
