Who Are To Blame

The text below tells an incredible story, one not yet finished for a child of fifteen years. No matter what the outcome is, who are to blame? Does a child simply decide to get drunk, steal a car and put her life and the lives of the public at risk without some underlying reason.

Last week, I wrote about youth and the issues and challenges they face today, in a calculated piece targeting Ross Wiseman. I am not sure I was as clear as I should have been, in relaying my points. A follow-up post is coming soon!

Take a look at the story below! Really, "Who Are To Blame"?

RNC in St. John's have laid several charges against a 15 year old girl following a lengthy incident in the metro area. At about 9:45 last night police responded to a report of a stolen vehicle in the Durdle Drive area. They were also informed the driver was impaired and headed toward Mount Pearl. Police say the vehicle was later found on Topsail Road and the driver turned out to be a 15 year old girl. Police say they tried to stop the vehicle but the driver refused. RNC say as an officer tried to approach the vehicle at a red light in traffic, the driver then exited the lane and attempted to hit the officer with the vehicle. A chase to the downtown area immediately followed but quickly came to a conclusion when the vehicle ran into the Oceanex building on Water Street. The driver then allegedly fled on foot but was arrested a short time later. However, things didn't conclude there. The girl is alleged to have kicked one officer and spat at another. The 15 year old is now being held at the Youth Remand Centre for a court appearance later today. She will be facing charges of theft of a motor vehicle, impaired driving, flight from police, dangerous driving, assault with a weapon, assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, breach of undertaking and failure to comply with a probation order.

RNC in Corner Brook had their hands full with a number of youth. Police say a 15 year old from Benoit's Cove has been charged with one count of robbery following an investigation into an incident that on Cobb Lane in Corner Brook April 20th. Police say he's been released to appear in court at a later date.

Following a curfew check at a residence on East Valley Road in the west coast city, a 16 year old boy was be charged with two counts for breach of undertaking. The charges come after he allegedly breached one of his curfew conditions within his court order.

Finally, four young boys have been issued warnings under the Youth Criminal Justice Act in connection with a complaint of mischief in the Broadway area of Corner Brook. All four have been released to their parents.
