So all down to liberal education and EU human rights law

Are you claiming there was no theft before, in the "good ol' days"?

The schools are part of the system
Teachers are always being blamed for a liberal education, you use the term yourself.

Of course there was theft and bad behaviour before the banning of the tawse.
Difference then was that the offender knew that if caught he would be punished... this is the difference between pre HR legislation and current "liberal" system.
Before child and criminal rights outweighed the rights of the general taxpayer/citizen bad behaviour was not approved or excused.
Now it is the lawabiding "Joe" who gets shafted.
Teachers had nothing to do with "liberal"education, this was down to "educationalists" who had probably no experience of class situation.
The poor bloody teachers just had to implement it to the best of their abilities.
The replacement of the tawse, approved schools and borstal by childrens panels, etc was typical of the retreat of authourity from its responsibilities.

All excuses, no responsibility.

There was a case this week of a pensioner asking a child in a supermarket not to pull electrical cabling. The pensioner was not having a go, though she would be in good rson to. Anyweay the chavette mother beat her to the ground severly injuring her.

Some people wont learn social responsibility without liberal application of a large blunt object.

If that is the case there then it is truly sad. It should not matter what was stolen. I would not expect an 8 year old to be fully prosecuted but you should at least be able to expect them to help and talk to the parents and file a report. Doing nothing will only teach the child it is okay. Theft should have consequences.

I think it's fairly sad that you need the police to talk to the parents rather than talk to them yourself.

Kids are toe rags, they get up to mischief, it's a fact of life. It's not something we need to be calling the police about.

Alternatively call the cops and tell them that he has stolen some models from you. Explain what they are but you don't need to call them toy soldiers. Who knows one of the cops might play Imperial Guard or something. Hopefully it will scare some sense into him or the mother.

While MGS's idea is the aweseome, I couldn't help but laugh at this one.

You: "Hi, yes, I'd like to report several highly expensive models stolen. I think I know who did it too."
Cop: "...These wouldn't happen to be GW models would they?"
You: "Yes, they actually are."
Cop: " Who the took them? If someone did that to my Warhound I'd be pissed as !"

Just shows what "liberal" education has done for our society.
If his parents had any love for the little tyke they would instill some idea of right and wrong.
But they will be too busy proving to their social worker or "care professional" that he has ADHD and needs Rittonel (if prescribed they will get an extra social security payment for his "illness")
I remember when such behaviour was just considered bad and allways resulted in retribution.
I strongly believe that the EU taking away the tawse from Scottish schools was the start of our behaviour standards decline here in Scotland.
Maybe if you told the police he was doing 31 in a 30 limit they would send the ASG!

For you non British readers it is true, our government and "social engineers" actually drug our children to make them behave, then pay the parents extra money for having an anti social child.
I know it sounds insane, but here the lunatics have taken over the assylum.

I will be so glad to finally leave this country in November.

Typical, so you handwringing lefties fill the country with the worst immigrants from around the world, nurture chav culture by giving them all their beer and cigarette money on a plate for 13 years and get us into monstrous debt and then you bugger off!?

Your meant to stay and fix it!

Although, i suppose its one less Labour voter to worry about.

Im only kidding MGS, but the grass is always greener, i lived in the US for a year (i presume thats where your off i forget) and i was happy to come home.

I hope you get settled, but look on the brightside, Dave will have sorted everything out nice for when you get back.
