Sea search for missing teenager

well - I posted my observation right at the beginning of the thread, have read the subsequent posts and am now concluding my thoughts on the whole sad scenario

I agree there is little new to my last post but it puts it into the realms of other modern teenage crime - stealing cars and killing themselves plus other innocents who get in the way, and stealing boats for a thrill ....... WTF is the difference ?

these kids stealing boats/cars are not acceptable just young boys 'do this now' when having a cheap thrill, - get real

get uncomfortable

get annoyed and actually do something about it - if you can /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

thrill seakers die - full stop /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

yeah ..... reasoned debate /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

and you are not offering that are you
 
good emotions

I find that what people will say, what they will write and what they will actually do are rerely the same -

for example and in line with this thread -

you return to your boat in Weymouth outer harbour to see 2 small kids rowing your tender away.

it winter

dark

few people around

you shout across at them explaining exactly what you will do to them when you catch them

in the act of giving you the bird one falls across the tender capsizing it and both go in the water but are seperated from the boat

after a couple of screams it becomes obvious that one can just about swim and the other can't

you are an excellent swimmer - what will you do?
 
Good moral question.

I think the mixed messages in this thread reflect how mixed up we all are on crime and punishment. When you suffer a crime most want to punish the offender "cut their hands off" etc

In the cold light of day though most want to prevent crime and re-educate offenders not to repeat a crime.

I find you question difficult to answer as my first response is why risk my life but then human instincts take over!!

yeah - have you found my achilles heel ....

and I was young once as well ........ I remember it well /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
Easy. You strip to the waist...














...jump straight into the water...















...and swim to your tender and recover it!
 
Well I think there's a 14 year old lad out there dead and parents with no body yet to grieve over and get a some sort of closure. I must say the tw@ts on this thread reinforce my existing opinions of them. I could have been one of these lads .. its part of growing up by the sea. I've borrowed boats, put 'em back its almost expected in small communities!
 
Oh give it a rest. There are people dying all over the world in tragic circumstances. Some much worse than this.
You can't carry the grief for the whole world.

Pick something else to be facetious about, I find this extremely distastful. Good night
 
I'm sorry Jimi feels that way.

I had put an answer to his last message here, but I realise that it's an emotive subject and some people just can't get past the fact that it's a kid and wasn't 2 years older and thus an adult.

I have my opinion and others have their own, and seem to think no child can do wrong or deserves to pay the ultimate price for their folly.

Life is not like that.

It is very sad when any child dies, but it's a sliding scale: as children get older and approach adulthood, there is an assumption that with increasing freedom comes increasing responsibility, and if that responsibility hasn't taken root, then any number of random things can happen.
