It works all the time for the legal system! Put them in prison for minor offences (like a bit of weed) when young, they then magically become better people

As I went on to say, it would probabally be for their best interests to take their exams next year instead of in a week or so (Or whenever they are actually due) They are unlikly to do well now whatever course of action is taken.
It isn't the putting people in prison that is the problem it is the letting them out again!
The two incidents are hardly comparable... One is vandalism of a worthless outdated embarrassment enjoyed by sad old men.
The other is the destruction a valuable collection of model trains.

Very true can't have re offending rates if they never leave, perhaps we can put some politicians in their as well

I've spent 10 years building my set - I'd be devastated.
I love the fact that the mother thinks writing a letter of apology will fix this.
That's probably all the "punishment" they'll get. Oh but she did say she wasn't going speak to him for a couple days.
Yes, that'll really turn him around.
And also she blamed the alcohol for his "silly" behaviour, describing it as "high spirits". Seriously.
Pathetic.

People have been throwing things at politicians for decades. I personally don't agree with it, I think you've lost the argument when you resort to this but if any politician is going to get milkshaked he'd be top of my list.
You're basing what will happen to the child from a report in a rag.
How do you know that the letter of apology is even a "punishment" as you put it? I reckon she's making him write it so he faces up to the fact of what he has done, so he knows there's people with feelings behind his act of vandalism. The mother is being responsible on that front. Would you rather she taught him it's ok to not offer apologies when you wrong someone?
I doubt very much that this is the first time that this group of 15 year olds have been wandering around town at 03:00 Hrs swigging Vodka.
And I also doubt very much that this is the first time they have caused wanton damage while doing so.
Based on what. I very much doubt you know anything about the kids involved.
There is a torch and pitchfork sale on at Tesco.
I prefer to purchase my lynching supplies from Waitrose, The torches burn brighter and for longer and have a pleasant apple fragrance that goes well with the smell of burning flesh. The pitchforks are made from better quality steel that doesn't lose its edge should it strike bone as well.
I think the fact that while the Mother expresses dismay at what her 15 year old Little darling did while under the influance, there doesn't seem to be any comment on the fact that he was wandering around town at 03:00 swigging vodka in the first place.
This would, on the face of it, suggest that this is not an unusual occurrence.

That's awful! Years of work gone to vandals! 
Why aren't those legally responsible for these ****** being billed for the damage they caused ? Ignoring the crowdfunded money, the ****** (and the people that failed to parent them properly) should be the ones out of pocket here. It's essential we break this cycle of actions without adequate consequences.
