I wonder if reading articles and looking for follow up articles ever struck posters here as a good idea.

A couple of points...

Firstly, the "kid" has since been charged and will face juvenile court... I guess that means he was let go into his mother's custody (rightly or wrongly).

The "kid" was not forthcoming with information, nor was he in company with a responsible adult - hence hand cuffs in the first place - considering the implications of his crime.

I also find it quite ironic that a select few managed to pick up on the Child and his Mother being Aboriginal in a flash yet completely failed to notice one of the arresting officers being Aboriginal... Which effectively flushes your blatant racist crap down the toilet, except I suspect those with said tendencies will lack the honesty, self reflection, integrity and brains to acknowledge having gone off half cocked...

The kid is a brat, he has been charged and, arguably, his mother should have a few reports to child protection agencies done, that said, I would not be at all surprised if there are existing reports already in the system.

In short, storm meet tea cup.

Police in the video can be heard explaining to the mother that her son was suspected of throwing rocks at cars and buses in the area.

But the boy’s mother appeared on The Today Show this morning and said the boys hadn’t been doing anything wrong.

“They weren’t throwing rocks that day, I was with them,” she said, explaining she had left them to go somewhere else before she heard they had been detained.

“I got a phone call to say that my son was arrested at the shops.”

The clip was uploaded by the mother, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, with a caption complaining her son had to “put up” with regular attention from police.

A police spokesman said last night: “Sadly this is the sort of stuff we have to put up with all the time.”

The best I can find is when officers requested/ were taking his details, "he was so enraged he had to be restrained by handcuffs". 

Come on Ian. Please tell me, of the some 250 tribal groups, each with their own beliefs and traditions, all of them practiced paedophilia?

How do you define paedophilia?


You must know something the many studying historians don't, to have such intimate knowledge.

Okay.  But......I saw nothing about his 'rage' change.  It was his potty mouth doing the 'outrage,' not his arms/hands?  The placement of the cuffs did nothing to shut the little prick up, and it hardly could.

Makes no sense.

.  But, I do not understand
