Jeff2 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 quarter to ten last night I was sitting at home watching the news. My wife Mary heard a scuffling sound outside, looked out the window to see our 17 year old son being beaten up in our driveway by a gang of about 15 youths, chavs or whatever else you want to call them . I rushed outside and pulled one off him and him off one of them (he was getting the beter of him). Mary was screaming with real fear-panick. We mangaed to get our son into the house and to call the police. Meanwhile the youths came back and started smashing up my car (not my westy, thank god). I went back outside only to be set upon, but managed to hold my own and the cowards backed off. This was early evening, my son had spent the day in york with his friends, he was initailly attacked when getting off the bus home in Pocklington, supposedly a nice market town . It took the police over 30 minutes to attend. Meanwhile, someone could have been seriously hurt, which luckily they weren't, but Mary is now a nervous wreck. My son is Ok and is taking it in his stride as 17 year olds tend to do. I'm just very very angry and want to get it out in some way. The police think they know the youths involved, but I doubt they will get any more than a slap on the wrist. Mary and my son on the other hand will have to think twice about leaving the house in future. Great society we live in isn't it. Reducing levels of violent crime etc, etc. Sorry to go on on our forum, but I'm sitting here and can't get out of my mind, so I'm hoping this helps. Jeff Quote

Mark Stanton Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Very sorry to hear that and sadly seems to be becoming far too common always seems to be lack of discipline and respect and failure of parenting Don't let em get you down, it will be hard but you can't let em win Quote
Darrell O'Neill Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 baseball bat Agreed, its the very reason I keep a 6cell Maglite by the back door, one upstairs, one in the van between the seats and one in the car in the glove box.... Quote
simmi Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Hi Jeff Our son was attacked years ago he was about 17ish. He got beaten with scaffold pole by a load of yobs, we knew who did it and thought it right to go down the right path and take them to court. It ended up in Crown court and got thrown out due to lack of evidence. I so much wish I had gone the other way and sorted it myself or got someone else to do for me, at the time people were queuing up it to help us... it angered us just the same way as you feel. Good luck to the family Neil Quote

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Nothing to apologise for. QUOTE always seems to be lack of discipline and respect sadly from idiots who seem obsessed by the concept of respect, but have no idea what it actually is. Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 baseball bat That was my first thought Quote
hogman Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Am with SteveD with this one, sod using the arm of the law as these days they are next to useless! Apparantly this violent behaviour is becoming a "game" for the chavs where they get more points the more damage they do to a person. Disgusting, the only way to end it is sort them properly but then where does it end! Quote
cidersurfer Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Have you ever tried taking a baseball bat off someone?! Quote
neilb Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 baseball bat Agreed, its the very reason I keep a 6cell Maglite by the back door, one upstairs, one in the van between the seats and one in the car in the glove box.... big maglite is the answer - baseball bat is a weapon, u can justify carrying a big maglite around especial in your car Quote
SteveD Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 baseball bat nice idea but what happens when it gets taken off of you ? you can try Quote
