Reply To: Boys sentenced for trashing Stamford model railway show

What sentence? I hope the parents are so guilty they cough up the money to replace everything, but I must be dreaming again!

We all know that it is not the money you spend, but the time invested in what you have built/painted. ‘Outsiders’ just take the piss when it comes to toy soldiers or toy trains and they will just say, “…you can just buy another!”

I would have taken a big bit of wood to the bastards and taught them a proper lesson about respecting other people and their stuff. However, what would be the point? We now have a society where this just becomes ‘high-jinks’ or “they didn’t mean it”.

The parents will defend their little angels and put the blame somewhere else and it will all be forgotten. Todays news is tomorrows chip papers. Get used to it…this is what happens when you let the standards drop to what they are now.
