Just reading THIS article on the Herald, I feel for the mother, she is stuck between a rock and a hard place and her only options are to move her daughter to another school or move where she lives.

Why are those her only options? Because the current laws are out of date and cannot deal with youth offending, this isn't a school yard argument the offender is someone who obviously doesn't care about about anyone else. Blow are some bits taken from the article.

"The girl could not be charged because of her age and the ''offence doesn't meet the criteria for a child arrest''

''Does my daughter have to end up dead before someone does something about it?''

''Why can't a 13-year-old causing this amount of damage be dealt with properly?''

"Police witnessed CCTV footage from the first attack outside the library and also showed it to Kylie.

They said themselves it's the most brutal attack they have seen from girls in that bracket of age,"

"Cellphone camera footage of the 13-year-old being taken into custody after Tuesday's internet was circulating on social media yesterday.

In it, the girl could be seen kicking and swearing at a police officer, kicking a patrol car and resisting the officer to be point she had to be pressed face first to the pavement while she was handcuffed."

I feel its time for a law change and youth who commit violent crimes be removed from society until they can demonstrate they are able to understand what they have done wrong. Send them to a youth rehab centre and if that doesn't work stick them in prison. Why should ordinary citizens be punished by having to live with people that have no regard for others and the law.

Our justice system is a joke and needs a major overhaul.
