Vandals - Actually worse than that

I discovered this week my sons childcare centre was broken into last weekend.

They trashed everything in his room and proceeded to break glass all around the playground. They broke and spread glass throughout the (covered) sandpit. This required an amazing amount of gutless forethought – lift the cover, spread the glass, cover it with sand and then re-lay the cover.

Small mercies – they didn’t bother to rip the kids paintings and other work, which makes a childcare centre home, off the wall and they didn’t have time to destroy the kids toys. And thank goodness the glass in the sandpit was discovered.

But who does that? And why hasn’t it got coverage in the media this week? Shame the f**kers I say or how else do they figure that what they did wasn’t fun, wasn’t funny, wasn’t cool.

It was sick, dangerous and disgusting.

In Singapore you would get flogged for that, they have a very low crime rate, maybe it could work here, maybe no criminal record against your name so you still have job prospects, but scars across your back for you to remember your stupidity.

I can’t believe what I’m reading here. My wife used to work in various Canberra Pre-schools and she’s disgusted to think that someone would do such a thing.

Might try your idea with Bonython PS Berra Boy. Several break ins to the library presumably after the plasma TV in there (why does a primary school have a huge Plasma TV in the library anyway?) in the last few weeks.

I might have to join you, Swaggie. Happens far too often and whoever is responsible should be named and shamed. Juvenile or not they need to learn that their actions will have consequences lasting far longer than the bit of ‘fun’ they had.

superwhy – which suburb?

My kids school was being vandalised regularly(and I mean between 3-4am every Sat morning) for weeks. I went down there one morning at 3am and just walked around. I heard some loud noises and but when I called out and walked around noone was there (thankfully). It might be a coincidence but there haven’t been any more break-ins (yet).

But yes, vandalism is bad enough byt deliberatly trying to hurt littlies is just pure evil.

That sucks. Thankfully no kiddies were hurt.

Bring back the breaking wheel, I say.

Bloody oath, no mercy blows either before being “woven” through the wheel.

But what if they came from poor families, and daddy didn’t hug them enough when they were growing up, and they were bullied at school. Surely the best answer is to let them off this crime, give them counseling, and increase their benefits?

are you looking for a job on the judiciary?

I agree that shaming is warranted in these sorts of crimes, and then a long spell of community service that involves improving the facilities of the places they vandalise.

Horrible. I hope karma comes back and bites these losers in the a**.

Sick, just sick.

I hope life catches up with these animals.

Sticking glass into a child’s sandpit and concealing it is appalling.
When my son’s ( Kindy) classroom was broken into 2 years ago, apart from trashing the room, they flung faeces around the room and pulled down artwork to wipe their arses.
Nice.
Schools, unfortunately, need CCTV.

Sticking glass into a child’s sandpit and concealing it goes beyond vandalism.

Bring back the breaking wheel, I say.

It’s like terrorism, especially booby-trapping the sand pit, except they have no cause.

I agree with you superwhy. I remember living in sydney when I was in primary school and every morning we had the council check our sandpits for syringes.

I dont understand why and cant understand their motive.
