First off,that porky ankle biter needs to put his knife and fork down for a change,and walk his ass around to get some exercise,not stealing cars and Joy Riding all over the place,putting himself and others in great danger.I don't mean to sound nasty,but he's a minor,and he knows it,because of his age he knows he'll probably skate on charges if he happens to destroy a mailbox or his neighbours' flower garden.
These days punks like that kid quickly come to realize that they are underage and in most places they are not responsible for their actions,therefore leaving the parents responsible for his actions.Now I don't know how the law works in other countries,but from where I'm from,if a minor breaks the law,his or hers parents take the rap for it.Personally,I think that law is stupid and unfair.
I am not a parent,but if I was I wouldn't take the rap for what this kid might do or learn from his friends.I know that the parent can't be everywhere.Behind my house up on a mound lies a former elementary school which a bunch of minors set fire to knowing they couldn't be held responsible because of their age.I don't think I would make a very good judge,because I would punish minors for their actions.People say awww he just a child,that's a bunch of crap.They knew what they did was wrong,yet still proceeded to break the law.Once again,I'm not a parent,but this stuff is dire in the truest sense of the word.
God bless,

Honestly I blame society, like the grandma said if she wouldn't think she would get in trouble she would beat him. He needs a good whooping but no one will let that happen because "oh he didn't know any better he's just a kid".

What would that solve?Polygon said:
He might understand that driving around carelessly can hurt people. That's what irked me most about the situation. He knew he put people's lives in danger, he knew what he did was wrong but he makes statements like I just wanted to do some hoodrat stuff. I mean, the stupid little **** doesn't even know what that is. He also said he didn't care cause' he just wanted to have fun. It makes me sick how stupid the populace of America is becoming and little they care for fellow human beings. I also get sick of people not being able to punish children anymore because of the fear of child abuse. He thinks taking away video games is enough penance for his actions.
Seriously.......

So you're saying you're sick of Americans caring little for other people and you're the one who wants a seven year old to get hit by a car.

Well, you're just being a little hypocritical in that sense.

We are seeing a few fold probem though. Problems are hitting kids harder at a younger age.
If someone doesn't give that kid some tough love and help him understand in a very clear manner, he will be getting into trouble the rest of his life.
I seriously think the divorce rate has something to do with kids growing up bad. I think too much TV and games at a younger age are bad as well. ... same thing with the lack of clear moral value. you cannot live in a moral-less society and expect to go very far... I think people (and alarmingly more... kids) are being desensitized to a whole host of situations and factors they should be desensitized to.
You know... there are probably people that look at that video with the kid and just laugh. It's not funny... it's actually quite sad that this kid cannot understand reality. I mean, this goes WAYYYYYY beyond a kid sneaking a cigarette or taking a beer from the kitchen fridge. Parents openly give their kids that stuff now... and so it has to progress further and further. And the broken family situation... it's hurting a lot of people... I've seen it 1st hand. It does more damage than a lot of people give credit to the problem. But we've become a replacement society in that area of life too.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I've seen a noticeable decline in the last 10 years. There is a lot of good that happens that we need to pay attention to and bring to light.
@ Polygon... my punishment would be to give this kid a real life sentence... take away all that he cares about, and try to scare some sense into him. If he had things he liked... take them away indefinitely. Give him community service... no joke... make him help others. Do whatever is necessary... and I would make the kid work his BUTT off until he could start paying back what he owed for all the damage.
See... it's not just the punishment... you have to be able to break through and have them understand. Punishments just don't work... it has to be the underlying understanding that brings realization into light. That's where change is.

Yeah I agree.
When I was kid "doing bad stuff cuz it was fun" involved knockin on people's doors and running away, or throwin rocks at parked cars or something. Usually the worst that would come out of those situations would be a broken window, at which point panic and fear usually took over. A whole host of lies and denial wouldn't spare me from punishment, but usually the realization that saying sorry wouldn't absolve me of the consequences of my actions was what really sucked about getting caught.
The difference seems to be the acknowledgment of the rightness or wrongness of one's actions. I dunno, it just seems like when I was a kid we knew when we were pushing limits and crossing lines, and we lived with the consequences of doing that. We expected to be punished for our actions before we got in trouble, in many ways that was kind of the point. In that video though, that kid doesn't feel any remorse at all. It's like he doesn't even think what he did was wrong, and he has no understanding at all of the ramifications of his actions. There's no reason to believe he wouldn't do it again if he was given the chance.

This kid absolutely needs a beating and some training, like an animal. He has the mentality of a dog with thumbs. I wouldn't let this kid outside of an institution until he was certifiably reformed, because he'll certainly never make it in society successfully without rigid unyielding dicipline.
