I live in Zone 1 and insure a Porsche. I'm fully aware of the premiums in London, thanks. The parents should absorb and pay the costs, if they are legally required to.
No, I didn't "key plenty of cars' in my past. Thanks for the moronic assertion; I went to public school.
I have fully comprehensive insurance, what's your point bud?
No, that is not my child
Was that a bad joke?
London is a high risk area. We pay almost 2X the premiums compared to the regions.
This guy (OP) has witnessed a child causing damage to multiple cars, so it's not personal. He clearly isn't discriminating against the OP. Yes, he's wrong, but it doesn't mean that he should be subjected to the frankly disgusting actions that have been mentioned in this tread.
Bog wash him!
I agree the parents should be held responsible but realistically this kid just scratched 6-7 cars, you could easily be looking at £4-5k in repair jobs depending how bad the damage is. Are his parents really going to want to fork out £5k?
I'm sure the school will take it seriously but there's high chance the OP is footing the bill for this unfortunately.
And Muppets like this are only pushing it up, why on earth should OP pay his excess only for his premiums to go up because some little ******* scrote decided to knife a load a cars?
I hope if the child isn't held accountable then his parents certainly are.
And yes the child some receive some proper punishment also, are they allowed to request a child does community service?
Maybe if hes out for the foreseeable future at the weekend cleaning streets and picking up rubbish instead of hanging around with his mates he might learn not to be a **** oh and hopefully at less risk of knifing someone elses child.
utter *****
Are his parents really going to want to fork out £5k?
What does their not wanting have anything to do with it? They're responsible for the young vandal.
From real world experience, I wouldn't hold out hope for getting your money back, and I wouldn't expect the child to be arrested. PACE Code G means there needs to be a real necessity to deal with someone in custody, and it's doubley difficult with a child. Custody sergeants don't want them in there.
Yeah, sure you do Rambo.
They won't have a choice if they get dragged in to court and ordered to pay. Which is what SHOULD happen.
What does their not wanting have anything to do with it? They're responsible for the young vandal.
Lol exactly. Since when has wanting to do something and having to do something been the same thing?
They gave birth to him. They raised him (evidently poorly) they're therefore responsible for his actions until he is old enough to be deemed to be.
Is carrying an offensive weapon at school not serious enough?
Which he clearly is doing as he is in uniform, with his bag, carrying a knife.
It's not about how serious the offence is. Why does he need to be arrested to deal with it?
Just wait for the scrote, toss him in a duffle bag and drive round with him in the boot talking loudly about the best way to hide the body parts.
