The article asks 'Is it in the public's best interests?' Darn straight. If your kid has been brought up on complaints so many times that it has to come to this, they NEED the courts to intervene. mom and dad obviously aren't doing it, or are, and are still failing for some drastic reason. That many charges by the age of 12, he needs intervention.

it kinda depends on what kind of sausage this was. After all there's quite a variation in sausages. it could have been a giant spanish chorizo or a mennonite 2-pounder, or it might have been a cocktail sausage or a particularly thin chipolata... some of them just aren't that dangerous. Some of them could do serious damage, particularly if frozen....

I wonder if they will argue over that in court. "Frozen sausage is aggravated assault."

London has lots of bridges or so I'm told. Put the donkey and his mom in a burlap sack. Seal it. Dump it over. You have to remove negatives if you ever want to give the positive a chance.
