First of all those two young girls should be given the maximum sentence for the crimes.

Then there is this little item :

Mrs St Baker said her daughter Tiana, 17, who had got her licence that day, was out with her brother Ethan, 15, when someone claiming to be a nurse from Griffith District Hospital telephoned about 10:30pm.

So can anyone explain to me why any parent would allow a teenager that had received their license that day would be allowed to be out driving at 10:20 PM.

So she would stop whining and interrupting her soap opera.

Only five posts before we started blaming the victim this time. Quite an improvement.

She just got her license. Maybe they went to the store or something. What an awful thing for these girls to do.

I would and did. My son is very responsible and had proven to me that he knew the rules of the road and what to do if any passengers in the car got unruly (pull the car over and throw them out). He has a 4.0 and has never given me a moment's trouble. If he wanted to stay out until 10:20 pm on the day that he got his driver's license - so be it - he has earned it. Now, the idiots that pulled this stunt are not bad teenagers, they are criminals.

The girl and her younger brother could have been at a Church function. Why are you assuming something negative?
