This story has been headlining on the BBC website all day. is this a new behaviour or have some girls always behaved badly?
I am not sure what I think. There have always been scary girls I avoided at school. I am not sure it is a new thing.

Its twelve year olds whether they are boys or girls and its bloody disgraceful.
I've read they shout at the assistants 'you can't touch me' as they dance on the counters.

The parents need to be fined in lieu.
Then we'll see how many parents will allow their kids out without supervision.

It's shocking behaviour. I know the police are under resourced but there needs to be investment in local policing in the streets. These kids need to be nipped in the bud

Disgusting behaviour, it makes you wonder how on earth were they brought up. Do youngsters not get taught about respect anymore?

It’s time to stop blurring their faces in photos and video footage. Name and shame them, I don’t care how old they are. If they want to behave so appallingly then let them own it. Maybe the embarrassment of their faces being shown on the news / social media would be enough to deter them.

If they can’t be held accountable for their behaviour then their parents or carers should be.

Laws need to change to combat this appalling anti-social and criminal behaviour. Allowing it to continue with no consequences is yet another example of soft touch Britain. .

I saw a young girl trashing a shop threaten to say the shopkeeper assaulted her.
They need to have an adult warn them that this kind of behaviour will result in a police caution and will go on their record. Someone with a criminal record will not pass a DBS check which will close teaching/TA work/HCP. I think I am right in saying a criminal conviction will stop entry to the USA, for example, for a holiday.
They feel untouchable but their behaviour will result in an eventual criminal record which will have serious implications for their futures.

I couldn't believe that report. That girl was 14, vaping, stealing, terrorising shopkeepers. I felt so sorry for that woman running the convenience store, she was in tears. Everyone seemed absolutely powerless.
Hit the parents in the pocket, I agree.

They do feel untouchable, @Rosesfornoses .
That policeman said "we're dealing with young people here", yes, young people who are without boundaries,who are abusive and disruptive and thieves.

Mind you, there have been a few threads on here recently with parents complaining about schools being too strict. Complaining about detentions and suspensions, so you can see the problem.

Where are the parents?! Where do you think that behaviour comes from? Children don’t just act like this out of nowhere, they learn it at home and from people they surround themselves. And the sad truth is, too many parents today are perfectly fine with their kids behaving this way. It’s unacceptable and frankly disgusting.

There’s no one else to blame. This is the result of how children are being raised in this day and age with zero respect, no discipline, and no repercussions for bad behaviour. If there are no consequences, what reason do they have to stop?

There definitely need to be severe consequences. Society cannot afford for the young people to think there are no boundaries for their behaviour.
