Youth Court? Really? Crikey that should deter them from being naughty children. Burglary, stolen car, crashed a stolen car, evading Police . . . Youth Court? Really? Adult crime = adult court = adult punishment.

I mean this would kind of go against my journalistic integrity but if this was me in this situation I would be doing everything I can to put things right and show remorse for what I did but these kids whoever they are they obviously need to be taught a thing or two about not making the same mistake again and to learn from their mistakes so it doesn't happen again
