10-year-old charged over high-speed chase: "A 10-year-old boy has been charged after allegedly leading WA police on a 75km-long chase at speeds of up to 170km/h in a stolen car with passengers aged eight and nine."
The car had been stolen and had 3 passengers - one of 15 and the other two 8 and 9. So, what time of day was this? The roads were dark.Do you get the impression our young kids have no adrenalin rush activitites to engage in safely and so they choose high risk behaviour which threatens their safety and the safety of others? We have so many kids who like what we call reckless, and it is, but what do we offer them that they would enjoy and could participate in and get that same kind of kick? Who has kids who think of stealing a car and then racing it at high speed? Were the young ones there by choice or because they were int he care of the older one? I think we need to think of some activities which kids can engage in without scaring us all to death....and maybe bedtime at night time is not too bad an idea.
