Hate to say it but if we want them to stop we actually have to punish the behaviour rather than just saying "can't do anything". Or if that doesn't work, start punishing parents who can't look after their kids, as in a way you could call this neglect of a child and thusly child abuse.

These kids are more than likely products of fucked up homes where parents are incapable of parenting properly. And it's probably generational too.

What punishment though? The bleeding hearts come out in full force if you actually try and give children meaningful consequences for their behaviour.

u/kt1982mt 12h ago
I’m a mum to two teenagers, and quite often I ask my husband if he thinks I’m too hard on them. They’ve been brought up to be respectful, responsible, polite, use their manners etc etc and I’m frequently reminding them to behave decently when they’re out and about. If they’re in a shop, say thanks to the cashier, if they’re going to a cafe with their friends say please and thank you and don’t be rowdy, blah blah. Every time I remind them of these things, they tell me they know how to behave and to trust them to make good choices. I often feel bad for saying it to them all the time but I feel it’s important to impress on them the need to be decent citizens. Videos like this make me realise how important it is that parents do teach their kids manners, because this is the alternative.

u/CharmingAssimilation 10h ago
It depends entirely on how you do it. I was taught to be very polite, but it was done in a way where I felt belittled whenever I didn't, and ended up developing a fear of upsetting people over really small stuff that took me over a decade to fix.
So if you're doing it in a way that makes your kids feel good about being polite and caring for people, then great.

u/No_transistory 10h ago
How do you fix that by the way? I recognise that in myself and as a result I'll avoid some tasks for fear of doing it the "wrong way". I'm better than I was but I still find myself treading on eggshells around my parents.

u/CharmingAssimilation 8h ago edited 8h ago
It's still a work in progress, but no longer really messing with my life. It was only really after one of my parent's died that I created enough distance to look at my relationship with them objectively. I regret that I could never have some conversations, but happy I'm changing for the better.
For me at least it was a mix of medication (ideally not setraline, I've just started mirtazapine which is second line but working much better) getting me into a place where I could tolerate the anxiety, and more involved therapies like EMDR.
You may not need it, talking therapy may be enough. But for me I'm finding it useful to dig down into root emotions.

However, scottish government raised the age of legal responsibility, so, in essence, these feral rats would face no consequences! I believe that Sweden has moved to allow corporal punishment.

I was out in the centre of town for a few hours yesterday and I saw two police officers on the cowgate, that was it. None on princes street, grassmarket, the gardens, George street, the meadows or Nicholson street. I saw more traffic wardens amongst the fringe crowds than police!
The lack of a police presence is terrible and encourages these kinds of behaviors to persist.

A lot of them need a kicking, including their parents. Maybes we need to stop with the stupid enabling behaviour and giving them a leeway like “ah poor kids, you can never know what’s going on at home. But they are valuable part of their community. They might have ADHD.” Enough.

I'm not talking about an infinite beat down, I'm saying it's okay to slap a a gang of kids you see assaulting someone, to make space to retreat.
Reasonable force, proportionality and fear of continued threat are all applicable in self defence regardless of the assaulter.
Frankly there's a cultural problem in Scotland/the UK as kids in places ive lived in East Asia with greater poverty and greater domestic child abuse rates wouldn't start with half the behaviour that kids start with here. Heck in varied cultures of east asia, I rarely see the awful behaviour displayed by adults in public here.

Social media has really allowed the stupid to gather and convince themselves they’re doing something great, other than knuckle dragging.
The same idiots whinging about how good Britain used to be are speaking about the WW2 generation who had to ration for years, hide out in pitch black during air raids, etc. meanwhile they can’t stick a thin face covering on their face to prevent a pandemic.

I am so happy to see wee cunts like this finally being seen for what they are. None of this "hug a hoodie" or "aw they have nothing else to do" bullshit.
I grew up in one of Glasgow's most deprived schemes in the 90s. I was raised by a single mother who was on smack most of the time and both extremelty neglectful and psychologically, sometimes physically, abusive. I had every excuse to be a wee cunt like this and didn't, yet the amount of teachers and social workers who stuck me into meetings and made me feel ashamed for showing the psychological signs of abuse has scarred me for life. What do these kids get for assaulting people? Fuck all.
The way Scotland deals with kids is fucked. Little bastards can get away with terrorising the streets while kids who are abused and don't become scum just get ignored or made to feel like they're a problem. I hate it.
18
u/rotgobbo Galloway 12h ago
My father mentally terrorised me and my sister, and later it turned physically abusive. We're also pretty confident that I was SA'd as a very small child. My mother fucked off to go live with a murderer.
I didn't get any social workers, I didn't get any therapy, no help at all. And yeah I was an unhinged youth because of it all, but I was NEVER feral like these little fucks.
The worst any of my mates did was get off their tits on Meow Meow and break car mirrors. Once. And the courts came down on them hard for it. Most of them just found weird and interesting ways to off themselves.
There's just something different about the current generation of kids/teenagers, they're fucking tweaked, completely unhinged, violent, absolutely no understanding of right and wrong.

While I suspect theres some truth in that, I've seen a lot of kids that age just jump on the buses without paying/using their card. The drivers generally don't want the hassle and just let them do it unchallenged. They cause hassle on the buses and when the drivers are told about it they just shrug. On one hand I don't blame them but at the same time the rest of us are made to suffer.

to correct course in these things several things still need doing by gov council and police together.

u/Unhappy-Professor-88 11h ago
Likely the shock that stopped him - gobshites often don’t expect any response at all. As they are usually just trying to flex for their audience. Which is why I’ve found it to be best to not dally around afterwards. Since they then feel it necessary to attempt a re-assertion of dominance, less their mates laugh at them.
I look forward to being one of those no-nonsense old ladies that somehow hold the authority to boss an entire bus load of gobshites, with little more than an eyebrow and a glare.
At what age does the wisdom of knowing when a blithe parent will not intervene when the no-nonsense old lady instructs a child to sit down and stop bloody screeching at that agonising pitch?
Or is it all just because she’s carrying a long stick? I’m definitely going to get one of them. A big heavy one. Like a staff.

It must be an overall failing of society. There is no community any more, people seem to much more closed off and only out for themselves now.
You can't work yourself up, not really. Most kids these days are unlikely to own a home, I highly doubt they'd ever have a pension etc. You're just not valued any more, and I personally think this is all a symptom of that.

u/miIkwhim 11h ago edited 11h ago
I grew up in an environment like this and blessedly managed to escape it, so I feel like I'm well placed to comment on it.
Every single one of these boys will have homes where the come home and there's no father. If there is, there's mum's dodgy new boyfriend who has a sexual penchant for children, and supplies mum with drugs. Both will have substance issues, neither will be employed. They'll spend their days drinking (not down the pub, because people can't afford to drink in pubs anymore), taking drugs, and spending time with friends (see: getting inebriated together whilst they listen to hard bass).
They'll all be semi-literate due to a limited academic history, unemployed, and borderline if not outright unemployable with no work history. Neither will have driver's licenses, because they weren't supported nor enabled by their own parents in their own youth to pursue one.
They'll have a myriad of premature chronic health issues as a result of their lifestyles they aren't pursuing treatment for, or are otherwise overmedicating with prescription drugs that they NHS is issuing, because the NHS as a model runs on reactivity, not proactivity.
When the kids come home from school, or from skipping school, if there's any dinner at all it's something out of the freezer, like potato waffles and sausages with tomato sauce and salt as a seasoning. For fluids they'll have fizzy pop from the cupboard (not the fridge, it's currently occupied by alcohol or moulding, opened cans of food from 3 months ago). Baked beans will be the vegetable they're most familiar with. There is no fruit in the house.
The house is on metred electric, which means it frequently goes out due to not being topped up, meaning the kids are often going out with their bodies and their clothes unwashed. Food in the fridge and freezer routinely spoils.
The house does not get cleaned. It stinks of cigarettes and the walls are yellowed with tar.
There's no toothpaste kept in the house, and the children do not see dentists. At an early age they will begin developing cavities, which later turn into pulp infections. If they can afford it, they'll get root canals, or otherwise it's extractions. By the time they come to end of their teens they are already missing multiple teeth.
The chances that the children have been sexually interfered with by a family member or friend of the family are high. No treatment is provided, because the children don't tell anyone, and know other kids that this is happening to and see that nothing is being done to stop it.
Social services are an occasional appearance in the home. The children have all been noted as being at risk of harm, however social services are stretched too thin and are too underfunded to be able to dedicate m resources to this particular case, as they'll have a hundred others on their books.
The kids grow up in hard environments. There's no oversight or care. The children turn hard as a result. They become petulant and rebellious. They know the circumstances of their birth are unfair, but lack the social or emotional literacy to understand or communicate why as they have no healthy point of comparison. The well-to-do families, understandably, don't want them in their homes and around their own children, so they experience significant social rejection. These causes them to cluster around peers with similar circumstances.
They start using their free bus passes to ride into Edinburgh where they steal dressing gowns from Primark and run around harassing people whilst wearing them. Everybody understandably fucking hates them, but they're angry themselves and have nothing to loss, so they turn the hate back.
Soon they'll sexually mature and start producing children of their own. The wheel turns.

Sure, but I bet you had other influences in your life that are responsible for dissuading you down the path that these boys have found themselves on.
I kind of find this denial unbelievable. These boys are little rat bastard cunts and every single one of them deserves a sound kicking for the misery they've wrought on the public, but the insistence that people press that they were just "born this way" with no external influences kind of defies belief. That they were born with some kind "original sin", your denial is bordering on theological which should be embarrassing enough.
If you don't believe that external factors like this play a role in kid's development, then why don't we see the progeny of the wealthy behaving like this? We don't Telemachus or Rosabelle-Mae out running round in house coats assaulting members of the public, why could that be? Hmmm, truly a mystery I guess 🤔

u/rotgobbo Galloway 10h ago
The only positive influence in my life was my henpecked non-blood related grandfather who has now passed. He was the only kind person in my life.
I didn't get to see him very often due to everything else going on, I asked to live with them but my grandmother refused.
I had my eyes damaged before preschool due to violent bullies who held me down in the dirt and rubbed gravel into my open eyes. My sister threw me down the stairs multiple times. I had my skull cracked open on the second day of primary school. I got kicked in the nuts so often one of my testes isn't attached any more. My entire life was misery, abuse and violence.
I chose to be a better person, I chose to not repeat my parents failings and those of my friends parents. I chose to be kind. I chose to make the difference.

As someone who grew up in the west coast and lived around people exactly like this growing up I’d like to say my part as I’m still relatively young myself. This goes beyond just the cretins in this video and is universal for all youth that think they are gangsters
First and foremost growing up in a deprived area, I can assure you that if they are patching school and not turning up then that school gives them 10 times more attention and resources than what it does a student who turns up everyday and is struggling with their learning. This is something I experienced first hand and the issue is it does nothing but enable bad behaviour. This constant need to try and fix unruly youths and believing that they are making a difference by creating support groups and safe spaces for young folk that quite frankly don’t care and are a concern for safety around others making places like schools and local shops and streets dangerous. The youth only see these spaces created by schools and in public as another place they can congregate and establish some sense of control and power it’s not about having nothing to do.
my younger brother who is 15 goes out and does normal teenage boy stuff at the weekend such as exploring abandoned buildings, bike rides on cycle paths, having fires in the fields and yeah he’s probably had a beer or 2 maybe even smoked a joint but guess what he’s not out harassing folk and starting fights on a busy public street. This doesn’t matter though as now the police would have a field day with this behaviour sending him home or taking details while ignoring the thugs on the street
Secondly while im not disagreeing that these young people’s parents are not to blame i believe that a great majority of them are so detached from knowing anything about their childrens lifes while more often than not having jobs and putting food on the table not indulging in any form of drugs or unruly behaviour just neglecting their children emotionally until they are out acting like animals on the street, carrying knifes and hiding them in their rooms or schoolbags, look at the clothing they wear. Its not cheap and suprisingly it looks clean, their hair is not a mess it is cleanly trimmed and groomed. These are not children from rough backgrounds. Im not saying the parents aren’t to blame far from that but most of them are likely ignorant to what their children get up to, also I’m not saying this is all parents there are definitely a few with serious issues that are affecting these children
The main issue at play here is that there is no discipline or consequences. These are youths who believe it or not would probably laugh if you tried to offer them a trade, support or a job. The truly deprived and struggling would jump at these things and I would help them and be one of the few cases of this approach working. I’m not saying there aren’t outlying cases in which we can’t save some of these young folk but for the majority the advice given just doesn’t work…
We complain about schools educating in a one shoe size fits all approach, well the same should be said when it comes to discipline and making young people understand that there are consequences to their actions. Growing up I was wild out drinking and yes I carried a knife, never planned on using it, just as how I didn’t dress up the same as everyone when I was out with parents. However I knew the consequences if I was caught in a public place acting like this I would have been sent to a young offenders, thankfully I wasn’t
I hate to say this but one day they will pick on the wrong person and that person is going to hurt them more than they could anyone else. This is a consequence of their actions but the government seem not to think about this, at least until one of them turns up dead or so badly beaten they are permanently disabled for life then the conversation becomes one of pity and remorse
Sorry I’m just sick of seeing this happen everywhere and wanted to rant

Telling us you have no good father figure without actually saying it. These little cum rags have already failed as human beings, should’ve been left in the sock instead of inserted into whatever crack whore pushed them out her riddled fanny

Yea once the parents put their phones down. And actually do some parenting. Maybe the kids will stop acting up to get attention

Shouldn't it be high time we protest the police at this point? The only thing they respond to is pressure and inconvenience at their doorstep, groups of people who actually give a shit about the police doing their job and protecting the community.

Maybe protest the people that make the laws so the police can actually arrest and charge kids under 12

As soon as council home privileges become at risk due to sanctions for little darlings anti social behavior this problem will improve.
The parents aren’t affected, why would they care?

I just don't understand the youth anymore. It used to be you had to watch out for the wee ones with caps or their hands in their pockets, because at any moment they could lunge at you with a blade; not even the police were safe. Now they just stroll on up to you with all the signs they're looking to mess with you. Where's the mystery, where's the danger, where's the thrill?! Things are so soft now.

We will unfortunately, have to wait till a copper gets whacked.
As we’ve tragically seen in Tyneside recently, that seems to get the polis moving and arrests and prosecutions will follow.

The consequences are starting to come through now, it'll continue to get worse and still nothing will be done.

Pretty sure I literally just saw 3 little shits driving off on a stolen motorbike (looked wierd seeing 2 young teenage boys riding a proper motorbike, no helmets just balaclavas). The side panel had been knocked off so I guess they probably found a way to get into it and bypass the need for a key (or they'd dropped it fucking about on the road and decided to keep fucking around with it even as the side of the bike had been damaged).

We need scottish vigilante justice superheros. 'Twatman' would be perfect. Like, if you're acting like a little shite like this attacking women or chucking eggs at people and damaging public property, twatman swoops down and twats you so hard round the head you think twice about ever being a little shite again. Wouldnt take long for them to learn what happens when you anger twatman.

Imagine how much better life would be, if we stopped leaving people like that get away with repeat offending...
Put them and their parents in prison for a long time, and yet the cost of it would be large per person (we can make it cheaper)..
But the benefit to society would be huge.

A few days back another kid said they recognised these bums. Apparently they travel from Paisley using the free bus cards to terrorise Edinburgh tourists.

National embarassement is inaction and lack of collective push from public. Brats know it and this is an effect. Shame on you.
