changing juvinile crime laws make them responsible with there parents

yes the kids do need to be controlled , people shouldnt have to live in fear

Give parents back the rights to look after there own kids .

The town needs the little smarties that think its funny to harass and destroy everything to be accountable for their actions and pay for their damages and clean up what they have vandalized

Agree strongly. If I let my kids do half of the stuff they do I'd be locked up! More consequences for parents!

Disgraceful behaviour!!

Make them or parents pay for any damage as well

Totally agree parents should be accountable

Something needs to be done that’s for sure.

As far as Kempsey goes our leaders have been hiding from the general public.I am sure that most parents be they black or white do not want to see their children end in jail and even worse become druggies leading a wasted life,therefore its better to teach kids the right and wrongs in everyday living.In the end I think it would be great for information from kids, teachers, social workers,leaders from within the Aboriginal community ,even a person like G I ,also people whose life has changed because bored youths chose to damage a pensioners only form of transport.Along with our government leaders who can have the position to sort out the problems so black and white can live in harmony.

These "underage" monsters know EXACTLY what they're doing whilst committing these malicious crimes, then play the "but I'm just a kid" card, and their parents are just as bad! They all need to be SEVERELY punished!

This town needs more police to enable them to patrol and respond to complaints of out of control kids and the damage they do.

Laws need to be more servere for kids and there parents

Make Kempsey safe

The consequences of their actions are life threatening, devastating and needs to be adequately addressed and punishment as severe as the consequences of their actions.

I cannot believe the amount of crime from young kids...... they all have parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles etc..... are they not ashamed???? If I did anything remotely wrong, I was sooo scared of my parents..... they would have belted the ass off me. I had guidelines and house rules to follow. Why aren't the families keeping track of the kids they chose to bring into this world ????

The gangs of young people in Kempsey need stopping, no wonder people are taking their business out of Kempsey

The laws need to be overhauled for everyone's safety.

This town needs a good clean up

Something majorly needs to change in the Kempsey shire. More police presence and a justice system that backs the police.

Bring back the good old days where kids got taught to show respect to their elders and that every action has consequences. We got discipline when we did something wrong , but these days the kids don’t know what discipline is because the parents are not allowed to discipline them the way we were.
