  1. > A witness said: “I witnessed this too and thought it was disgusting

    This in itself is a problem. We are terrified to intervene to help people, lest we end up with criminal charges or worse.

  2. I was wondering what sort of girls could do this but then I saw Birmingham in the article

    Whenever people from
    My country ask me if I feel safe in London my answer is yes. 

    Whenever they say: ”aren’t you afraid to walk around at night?”

    My answer is: “No, I am only scared to walk around when I see a group of children/young teens.”

  4. I feel like the male and young boy violence is quite well understood in the mainstream now, at least some of the major causes, not necessarily how we prevent it.

    But can anyone say what’s with the rise of violence in teenage girls that seems to be happening?

    Time to get tough. Stop giving out kid glove early bedtime ‘sentences’ just because of some arbitrary age cut-off, without considering the actual circumstances of the offending.

    If Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe had been in their mid-20s, they could have been looking at 35-40 years for what they did to Brianna Ghey. And the girl involved in the Bhim Kohli case wouldn’t have been allowed out on tag, either – more like 10-12 years in jail.

    The Americans have “tried as an adult” and part of me wonders if we should look at that too. And if they are tried as adults, _name them_. It is in the interests of public safety if these people are ever released.

    What the fuck… all the elder abuse from feral kids I’ve seen lately. There was also an elderly man whose home was lit on fire by a group of teenagers that had been harassing him non-stop, with absolutely zero motive except that he was an easy target for them. He died in the flames. I’m struggling to find articles about it but there was a [Disturban video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrK0wGrrraw) about it on YouTube.

    Like, kids being feral little shits has been a thing since time immemorial but I at least laboured under the illusion that elderly people were left alone.

    Most of the articles on this are vague and are direct copies of each other, down to the errors.

  8. >West Midlands Ambulance Service said it had no record of the alleged incident.

    Nobody thought to call an ambulance?!

    In my experience I found bullying from girls to be a lot more spiteful and drawn out.

    If a boy had a problem with you, they’d make it known and act on it. But that was usually the end of it.
    I got punched in the back of the head once, and never had an interaction with the kid again.

    On the other hand I had two girls who took a dislike to me, they got hold of my number and would prank call me, they followed my mum home when she was pregnant, shouting abuse at her.

    Provoked me in the playground and canteen everyday – then the day I finally snapped and pushed one of them, they made sure the entire school knew I had “Beaten up a girl”.

    Everytime I tried to ask for help from a teacher, they laughed it off as they were “Just a pair of silly girls”
