Another tale of bullying from Chisholm

miz said :

#22, actually it was the other way round, the (female) worker came barrelling out and yelled utter filth and behaved in an aggro manner, terrifying the (female) neighbour, in front of her husband and observed by another neighbour. That’s right, bullying behaviour. All the abused neighbour had done was ask a person in a parked car to move so her driveway was not blocked, and suggest they park in the (ample) parking bays at the refuge. Turns out the car was there to pick up the worker and was trying to avoid the cameras because they were banned (that’s right, all problems are now in the street because of the cameras – hence all the loitering by undesirables).

The AVO matter is before the courts this week and is likely to be dismissed as there is absolutely no substance to it. However it serves to indicate how bad things have become. There has never, ever been anything like this or the criminal activity, bongs found etc until the refuge went in. Its a no-brainer.

As for human trash, it takes one to know one, Comic. And as for breaking the cycle, how could that possibly happen when these young people are given everything on a plate and there are no consequences? WE are having to clean up the mess time after time and they get off scot-free.

If you are so enamoured by the idea, how about contacting Minister Rattenbury tomorrow and offering your street for relocation? They will be looking for one soon.

You live in Chisholm. Do you honestly expect anyone to believe you when you say these problems only started when the refuge opened? lol.

Anyways, stay on topic, this thread is not about you being a cold hearted nimby, it’s about horrifying bullying that is out of control, in Chisholm.

As I said before, until parents are held accountable or even lose their kids, and until the disgusting victim blaming is gone, things will only get worse.

#14, Huh, and ‘Comic’ has repeatedly been attempting to cane ME for not wanting such persons all grouped together and taking over my tiny street?! Ironic.
BTW it is a nightmare living here now. I hope you are happy Comic, Poetix and others who have No Idea. We have had criminal damage to cars, theft of trade tools, traspass and loitering of undesirables, an AVO taken out (by staff member of the refuge) on the resident living next door, etc etc. So much for ‘oh the poor homeless young people.’ An Absolute Nightmare. Hopefully it will go somewhere else soon. We are certainly agitating for that.

Ok, so you seem to be defending you poor and lovely neighbour who committed a act of violence on a staff at the refuge? What a great human being.

You also live in Chisholm, you have no proof any of your allegations have anything to do with those teenagers.

Also, it’s not ironic. A child being homeless doesnot equal human trash. Actually, it more than likely means they are trying to break the cycle.

Major problem with Chisholm, monash, theodore and Richardson is way too many government housing filth. These suburbs and surrounding schools will never be fixed until something is done about the disgusting POS that plague the area.

Yes while one can find low life scum across all socioeconomic areas it’s fairly obvious they are mostly found in the lower socioeconomic bracket.Understandably no one wants to live next door to aggressive,noisy,quarreling bogans whose backyards are littered with all sorts of rubbish etc.The really difficult thing is what to do with them or where to place them,particularly when one has to factor in the human rights act.

So if someone can solve that dilemma i’m sure those that have no choice but to deal with the problem would be eternally grateful.

Maybe make Canberra less attractive place to live by reducing the number of government houses on offer? From what I read recently Canberra has the highest per capita number of govt housing of all capital cities.

Great idea if you want to see normal people who hit a run of bad luck ending up homeless. Not that this isn’t happening already of course.
The trash are always going to be the last ones out, squeezing public housing would block access to it by people in crisis who legitimately need it.

I see nothing unreasonable with placing caveats on the lease for a government house (ie. criminal conviction of anyone residing there during that lease, you lose the lease; failure to keep the peace can result in the same thing, keep the property free of rubbish, debris etc.). Some sort of incentive for people to behave themselves for the privilege of having government subsidised housing. And people in private rentals will all say that yes it is a privilege to have rent adjusted based on your income, to have reasonable standards for repair and maintenance of said property etc. (which doesn’t always happen in the private sector market).

Dont get me wrong, there are some very nice people (some of them are my friends) in government housing.

We have this culture in the ACT of being a ‘soft target’ – our magistrates wont give you jail time, we are perceived as having a soft stance on drugs (some people still think cannabis use is legal here!!), our schools are not empowered to deal with problem children effectively, and now if you cant pay your traffic fine they will let you pay it off at $5 a week….

…It seems that we have this touchy-feely approach from our government, where if someone gets bashed, the accused is encouraged to ‘talk about their feelings” over a cup of tea and bickies. The victim of crime is given less support than the accused.

On face value, it appears we are breeding criminal behaviour through our public school system by not empowering schools to manage inappropriate behaviour effectively.

This is what happens when family gets involved. Some of you may have read this story years ago. It was girls in the same gang. Sad fact is, the only thing I could do was to just run away, leave. Let them win their game. You don’t want to win that kind of game anyway.

Thank you for sharing my post.

I was very anxious when writing it but worried_mum’s story just greatly upset me and brought back memories and so I felt I had to share a snippet of how bad bullying can get. And also to show how things can turn around. I’m still angered by the school and authorities but I feel helpless in that aspect. It upsets me to realise this still happens, to imagine another girl is in my place. I wish worried_mum and we family all the best!

The problem is that they move them into good neighbourhoods in the hope that everyone else will model good behaviour. Instead they become a pest to everyone in the neighbourhood. Then its back to moving them all into one area which then becomes a hive of criminal families which cause issues for surrounding suburbs. So then its decided to move them out and let them live in good suburbs to have people model good behaviour… and around and around it goes.

I’d just move them further and further out of the city until they got the hint that if they behave they can live with everyone else.
