The families of four youths causing damage by breaking in & stealing demanded for security video footage not to be shown to the community ! The reason "it'd show our community in a bad light" !

Just got told that the Police went to the home of the leader of the culprits to talk with the parents about the kids antics. According to one officer the father told the son "Don't get caught next time".

There will be lots more youth crime once this social media ban kicks in.

It's not about kids being bullied and committing suicide
It's not even about kids being radicalised with extremism
It's not even about kids at all in my opinion

It's about forcing adults to have Digital ID
- social media blackmail -

The kids will still be committing all sorts of crimes;
and the government will still be giving them all slaps on the wrist
and then letting them straight back out on the streets to commit more.

I haven't read the DID laws, but I know someone who has
I'm told once you use Digital ID once
- It automatically becomes the only accepted ID you can use.

So pied piper them with social media blackmail, then once people use it just one time - it then becomes the only accepted form of ID forever.

There would be some on here who would prefer a tattoo on the forearm as a means of identification.

Indy,

We have a problem with social justice which is leading to a problem with criminal justice. "Do the crime do the time" sounds a catchy little slogan, but unless you do something to reform the problems with youth in society, all you will achieve with longer jail sentences is bigger prisons and more hardened criminals. Of course there has to be repercussions for anti social criminal acts, but the objective should be early on with attempts to put children into a meaningful productive environment, which a lot of children today are lacking. Treat the root causes that lead to the crime, and then you might have better outcomes.

Crime rises, liveability declines. Or, is it the other way around.
