I wonder if the owner offered the kid a face massage before the law arrived.

Hell, the stupid wank damaged the ute. I would have given him something to think about whilst waiting for the cops.

"Yes, I have apprehended the thief, but he tried to fight back, so I had to render him unconscious".

:D

He'll just get a slap on the wrist and be out stealing another car to get home.

the youth justice system in QLD is as pissweak if not worse as SA. He will get thrown in detention for a couple of days and then get released out on bail...

and while he IS in detention, the other juvies will probably teach the little shit how to nick vehicles without keys for the next time

wow the owner did a good job restraining himself........ if i heard someone stole my car then was doin burnouts in it u would have lost the plot if i caught the guy.....hope the kid doesnt get a slap on the wrist 26 hours is a long time to steal the car and hold onto it..... the kid deserves a good beating!

15 yr olds know how to steal cars? Doubt he was alone in the car for the first couple of hours. He'll get a slap on the wrist and be back trying to steal that hilux again..

Not only should the boy get a major kick up his arse, so should his parents!

You make a good point Glenn and I actually agree with you but you'll be surprised how many wouldn't agree.

Unfortunately it's almost politically incorrect these days to hold parents accountable for a minor's indiscretions.

And its no wonder when you consider a parent can go to jail for administering corporal punishment in public these days.

Spare the rod and spoil the child!!

Having said that, I definitely don't condone child abuse and parents who do need to be locked up!

okay my question is F**k are the cops in the first 36 hours!

Bloody hell!

Its a huge-ass Hilux doing burnouts! how the hell did the cops miss this kid for 36 hours, and the owner had to track it down himself!!

This really makes me wanna put a machine gun on my security system so i dont lose my car coz i no the cops will never find it!

and lets just hope this kid wont turn out famous like that Corey kid from Melbourne who threw the party...

I do agree parents need to be tougher in this day and age.

Some parents just let their kids do whatever they want when they want. And their parents don't give a shit.

But also if a kid wants to be bad nothing is going to change that.

I new a family with two children. They were a fairly well off family, nice house, cars, etc, etc. One child was a lovely kid who i used to play with. And the other was just rotten. Stealing, going out all night, didn't give a toss about school.

They both had the same upbringing. So in the end it's the individuals decision about how they want to run their life. Parents can only steer them in the right direction.

With todays soft-cock approach to parenting ("you shouldn't hit kids"), there is no discipline! My old man got the belt out on my ass when I messed around, and I know now that I did genuinely deserved it. It adjusted my attitude. Got into RAAF training and karate and learnt alot of discipline and respect for people. But also taught me that others should respect you and your property also. Its a two-way street.

I'm tough on my 9yo, but I explain "why". He knows I want the best for him and I'm only showing him the ropes of life ... but not 'sheltering' him from it. We've sent him to bed without dinner because he didn't do his homework (lied that he had, to play Xbox). He had his cry, but I told him the next day that if you don't finish school and get a job, there would be no food on the table for himself, so if he can't get past that little episode and move on, then he's not ready to make his own decisions and we'll make them for him. So he was banned from the Xbox for a week and did his homework under our supervision. He's now learnt things like the Xbox are rewards, not something he's meant to have by right. He's a good kid and supports his mum around the house alot and I've rewarded him with bike rides and the sort. I'm actually in the process of window shopping for a little dirt bike for him. Do good, get treated good.

Unfortunately, the general public don't know the difference between 'discipline' and 'abuse'. Everyone is too willing to point the finger at the parents for hitting their kids, and still blaming them when that same kids steals something because the parents couldn't discipline them. Eat a tea spoon of cement and harden the f**k up. ;)

i doubt that.

Don't go assuming you know me. :) I'm an easy bloke to get along with, but get on the wrong side of me and there's hell to pay. Touching my toys without being invited? Thats a big no-no! My background puts me in a better position to 'get away with it' than most people.

And as far as the law is concerned ... you just gotta know your rights and the corners to get around it.

Here, here! Its all about balance. I've got a 9yr old boy & 11yr old girl who both understand what consequenses are, and get them as a result of their own actions, not because mum & dad don't love them.

On the scales of life I always try to tip them in favour of showing them love but never letting them get away with unacceptable behaviour and they are turning out pretty good so far.

Abusive parents dont know the meaning of love and should never have had their kids in the first place.

We like the reward system to but we always make sure they're not going out of their way just for their reward so we use incentives wisely & sparingly.

True. Sums up my beliefs ... I just got carried away with my post ;)

Unacceptable behaviour is to be punished. Work out what 'hurts' them (taking away the Xbox, the traditional sent to bedroom, or (in the worse cases) the traditional 'spanking'), but also explain to them 'why' they're being punished. Reward them for doing good things without being told to do so, but the reward can be a simple "thanks". Kids shouldn't do things with the expectation of getting something out of the deal. Thats discipline. The best reward you can give a child is 'good character'. I have 10 nieces and nephews and I love them all, and as much as they love their uncle, I am firm with them when its required, and I tell them why. They still love their uncle because "he's tough". LOL

How many of us felt warm and fuzzy when told we'd done a good job at work? I sure as hell never expected my boss to give me a chuppa chup when I did a good job. Knowing you're appreciated is a good starting point for a reward.

As I tell my 9yo, "you're not going to get a treat/reward everytime you do something good, you should be good all the time. But you will make it easier for me and your mum to decide if you deserve something when the time comes without having to think twice about it." As he grows up, those toys/treats will become pats on the back. Kids expect material things naturally, but as adults we rely less and less on something tangible for a reward ... unless its a beer of course! :)
