Any rational adult wouldn't Sooz. It's the irrational.......

I know ................but was it kids? I know it's still inexcusable but - could it not be kids who didn't understand the consequences of their actions? Or have I got it all wrong? Have they arrested adults for this?

I don't know Soozy.  It seems odd that the report says the blocks looked as if they could have been moulded in a bucket   Would kids have had the sense to do that?

I live at the back of the M1 (with the main railway line to the North running parallel) and about 10 years ago I was coming home from work. As I crossed the bridge over the motorway I saw two kids dropping stuff from the bridge onto the cars below. One little lad was about 4 or 5 and the other couldn't have been more than 9. As they saw me coming I shouted at them and they ran - leaving a pile of stones and rocks on the bridge.

 

When I got home I phoned the police, then I took the dog out for his walk which went past the entrance to the bridge. There were 4 police cars and officers everywhere looking for the kids. I spoke to them and they said that they had also received calls from the businesses round about and were looking at their CCTV to get photos of the kids.

 

About 2 hours later I was at home putting washing out and saw the kids running past my flat with 6 coppers in pursuit. They got them and took them away.

They were too young to be prosecuted obviously but I hope the police really gave their parents hell. I would have charged the parents as kids that young shouldn't be out by themselves so close to a busy motorway.

 

I was surprised how seriously the police took the matter. To send out so many of them to respond to the calls and then to actively search for the kids until they got them did impress me. And I don't normally have a good word to say about the police. But clearly if one driver had swerved to avoid the stones or been hit and panicked then it could have caused a dreadful pile up

At what age does a "Kid" know it is wrong to drop a heavy object onto cars below them?
