Girl, 14 Stripped and Beaten at the Omni Centre

Words can't actually describe just how sickening that is.
It'll be very interesting to see what punishment they get, since we're talking about a 13 year old and two 14 year olds.
To me, that should be life imprisonment for something like that. By the sounds of it, they have pretty much ruined that girl's life.
Just a truly horrendous story.

Theres absolutely no need to have that level of detail reported in the newspapers. Theres no 'public interest'.

Hopefully the victim can get on with her life in some way and the attackers are given a long sentance.

How any court can pass anything other than a heavy prison sentence will be beyond me.
That is horrific, absolutely shocked by reading that. I only hope the young girl can recover from this ordeal.

The neds are getting sicker by the day.
IIRC there were two young lads down south tried to hand another boy from a tree only a couple of months ago.

Was shocked when i read this..
Why anyone would want to do that to another person is frightening, even worse when they are all so young..
Throws up another issue though, why are 14 year old girls being allowed to go "Up town" anyway..
At that age i wasn't allowed any further than 5-10 mins from my house..
Doesn't in any way, shape or form excuse what she was subjected too right enough..

Perhaps she stayed in town and the omni was 5/10 minutes away.
Sorry for getting on at you but it seems like you're somehow implying that this is partly the girls parents fault, which IMO, is utter BS.

The Top of the Walk is full of shockingly drunk young girls at weekend nights. It's a bad place to be then.Last edited by lapsedhibee; 02-09-2009 at 10:27 AM.

Can only imagine what it would've been like in a cinema with these cider drinking cretins
What is it with young folk these days? I might've had the odd cider down the park, but I think the worst it got was playing 'tap door run' - not getting chucked out of cinemas and attacking people to within an inch of their lives!

I'd rather that people capable of committing such acts weren't walking the streets.
If I got my hands on someone that had done that to one of my friends or family members, I'd probably risk prison myself.

Don't get me wrong this is a very serious crime and should be met with strong punishment however to imprison 14 yr olds for the rest of their life is too extreme. Do you think it is right that they would be facing circa 70 years of incarceration for one crime?

You are saying that because these people have comitted a crime you are advocating that they be assaulted as punishment.
You are so outraged by this crime that you wish to see it comitted again but against the original perpretrators...an eye for an eye. So all muggers should be mugged, all rapsists be raped, all murders should be murdered? Who carries out these punishments for you?
PC brigadeI don't think that life inprisonment (for certain crimes) and advocating violent reprisals against criminals is an effective form of justice.

I've posted this before and it pertains to the James Bulger case in particular (hopefully this doesn't derail the thread) but I think it's a fantastic piece on how violent crime committed by children should/shouldn't be treated by society as a whole...

Absolutely despicable & disgusting assault..i can only hope that whatever punishment is meted out to those "sicko's" by the courts it is the correct one & not one iota of remorse is shown to them wherever they end up ..they are nothing but **** !!

This was an attempted murder and sexual assault carried out and filmed over a 45 minute period.
They're evil little *******s who knew exactly what they were doing and should be removed from society at large.

My 1st post genuinely wasn't a go at the girls parents, just a question regarding the vast amounts of young teens that now seem to hang about the town reeking..
It's not all about "letting" them go up town but actually sitting down, talking and educating them about the dangers and consequences of drinking,being in the town centre at night, putting themselves in vulnerable situations etc..

In the early hours of the following morning police were called to a disturbance at a young person's unit on the other side of Edinburgh and found the brunette without her shoes and covered in dried blood.
She told them she had been drinking cider and had a fight with a girl who was "being wide."
The blonde was found by police the following day after being reported as a missing person
Young persons unit? Whats that? It sounds like at least 2 of them were in care of some kind or another. It also reads like the girl who was attacked was with them.
Doesn't make any difference to the horrendous time the girl went through though and I hope they are severly punished. Life would only mean 10 years anyway so there is no point in arguing over that. They would still be in their mid 20's when released.

I hope her family & friends help her get through this & that correct justice is dished out. Nice comfy bed, PS2 & trips away are not the answer but this is what they will get.
But if this was a family member or close friend that had been put through this, then YES I beleive in an eye for an eye
What Punishment would suffice for you?
