ASBO threat for troublesome teen

ASBOs are a good way for kids to compete with mates to get most

Sounds to me like someone needs to have a word with his parents to get them to sort their kid out.

bring back capital punishment, these kids need more of a deterrent

The parents must shoulder some of the responsibility for the actions of their off spring. The decent people of Ipswich should really take a stand against these moronic thugs - a sort of "Guerrilla" reclaim the streets (with no law breaking please !), just make them feel really uncomfortable - like they make some of us feel .......

Why is du picckin on him? He ain't done nuffink. Ee's a good boy. It wen't him it was dem asylem seekers!

sarky i notice you only comment about inflicting pain on youngsters..........

Stop the softly softly aproach on punishment and we might stand a chance of reducing crimes. Slapped wrists just isnt enough!!

lets have stocks in the streets again, i would love to give him a good egging.

paul king mate you avin a wind up? dis one is a terrorizor of da streetz and an ASBO wont do NE-fin for him but give him sum fink to boast about, wot he needz is a stretch inside

every area has these kind of people, young kids getting into trouble, and if they stop him going to this area with the ASBO surely he will just do it in another location.

I still think you should name and shame the people who do things like this! There should not be an age limit. If he can do all this trouble, then put his picture in the paper!

I would egg you on to give him a good egging, Steve!

To "Voice of Reason" - your powers of producing fiction are only surpassed by Enid Blyton. Parents ("both") should be made legally responsible in the courts for their childrens actions. If a dog misbehaves, the owner is responsible. Children and dogs are very similar...and so is their successful "puppy" training - they both need to be taught their limitations in order to be happy and obedient.

Children and dogs are very similar.......obviously not a parent your self or you have an unhealthy view on dogs and an appaling view on children, try putting a 14 year old on a lead, they dont like it

give him two weeks holiday and some spending money that should help

ASBOs what a waste of time, shame borstal was ever done away with. That would have been the deterent, all these yobs need!!!

"Voice of Reason= obviously not a parent your self...." I have a dog, hamster, tortoise, numerous fish, and 3 children (2 now adult / sensible enough to have left Ipswich and its hayseed / backwater mentality far behind in pursuing their careers) and all of whom, by the reliable accounts of other people, are exceptionally well trained / behaved. Now, before you "lead" me any further down your whimsical path of light-hearted self-contradiction......."jog on"

If I'd found out that my children had been causing trouble, they'd get a clip round the ear (not a beating!)despite all the soft touches out there saying it isn't the way to treat them. Some of the parents out there pop one babyee out after another and just let them turn feral . The parenting does need to be looked at. I was brought up to respect others and I hope I've passed on that respect to my children. There is no respect for the police today due to the fact that they are restricted as to what they can do. Bring back the 'Bobby on the beat'!
