They should have these brats clean up every stitch of graffiti in town.
Thanks you to the two towns people for being alert and calling in the crimes. We always need people willing to pay attention and get involved. If you see something going on, please call it in.

I think we need 24/7 camera surveillance to keep us safe from these menacing, Sharpie-wielding criminal children. Sure four of these thugs are off the streets and safely confined in time-out, but what about the rest of these intimidating adolescents?
/but yeah, get cleaning punks...

24/7 camera surveillance.
I hope that's a joke. Thugs? I'm sure that must be tongue in cheek. Kids make mistakes. Parental guidance is lacking today. My kids had a little girl in 3rd grade give an all day discourse on the middle finger last year to the entire class. Who to blame, the kid OR the parents? I'd like to see the Judge have the parents scrubbing off the graffiti right alongside their kids. Maybe then they will take a little more interest in teaching their children right from wrong.

It is too easy to blame a parent for a child's mistake. There are many parents who teach their children right from wrong - the children still make their own mistakes. Do not get me wrong, parents need to be involved, but if a child makes a mistake they must take the consequences.

Hi Linda,
Actually during WW2 the children followed the example of their parents.
Hate is being passed along in many mideast countries today from parent to child and the hate continues. The chain could be broken by the parents. It is in fact sad that too many parents DON'T take their commitment seriously enough today. I always ask myself why is a young child out roaming after midnight on a school night? I certainly don't want to give the impression that it's ALWAYS the parents fault. I do emphasize what is learned at home is imperative to the development of a child lasting a lifetime.

I would be interested to see how many of these kids have someone at home to watch them after school. Nowadays, both parents tend to be at work long hours in order to make ends meet. The only guidance being a blanket statement of, "stay out of trouble, if you have a problem, call my cell".

They know it is wrong and should be made to have a sentence of cleaning up all graffiti in the town! This will send a message to anyone else, if you deface property you will be held responsible.Some cities have been forced to hang barbed wire around billboards and buildings to avoid graffiti, lets send a message ..we will not allow this in our town,,,PLEASE
