    That would be how SOME young people behave today, not all of them.

    I would go further to say a tiny minority.

    How about someone posts a story of teens doing good for once? oh, but that isnt sensational enough is it?

    Reading the description, it sounds like she was attacked by the United Nations youth league.

    Well it didn't happen in the Cinema, they followed her and her family, so maybe they stopped off and bought some bleach? Nice bit of premeditation there.

    They didn't take the bleach into the cinema. The family left the cinema, went to a restaurant, and the gang came back and poured the bleach over the woman. It says so in the article.

    This happened not far from where I live, I used to go to that cinema all the time, before I started going into Leeds to The Light. In the area its in, theres a mcdonalds, pizza hut, frankie and bennies, Vue, Hollywood bowl, and I think another one, so the kids could have possibly nicked the bleach from a cleaning cart/cabinet or something

    Not purely a case of getting it in the cinema


    Awful, awful thing to happen :(

    Assuming these yobs are caught, assuming the police prosecute them, assuming the CPS decide it is worthwhile prosecuting them, and assuming the court finds them guilty, does anyone have any idea what their likely sentences would be?

    Gut feeling would be community service - but in fairness that's just because I'm feeling quite cynical today!

    I would imagine that it may depend on how extensive the ladies injuries end up being.

    They should be charged with gbh/abh and given 2/3 years min.

    It might be a generalisation but how do you feel when you see a group of young people.
    I know I feel apprehensive. Just walk into a shop where there are a few hanging around outside, they stop what they are doing and stare at you. Just waiting for someone to say something so they can turn on them. Why should it bother them, there are no consequencies.

    That's what I was thinking, or an ASBO medal.

    Why can't the powers-that-be see that such minimal 'punishments' actually encourage this sort of behaviour? Presumably, because they live in their own protected little world and never see the realities of life.

    How dare you generalise a group of people by the acts of a small amount of people. It's like calling all men and women rapists. It's also like saying all old people talk about the war all day long - the fact is they don't and it's a Generalisation.

    Theres people over the age of 30 who are just as bad.

    You were young once (not condemning what happened).

    It appears your generation (or some of them) really are a disgrace to society too.

    Good, let's hope the little scumbag gets convicted.

    By the looks of it he's being charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Does anyone know the standard sentence guide lines for this?

    Probably a suspended sentence for a first offence for someone of his age.

    Or maybe they'll just give him an ASBO, asking that he refrains from throwing bleach at people and trying to blind people who annoy him.

    Still, given the way things seem to be at the moment, he might simply get a safari out of it.

    This gang should be forced to pay for any hospital treatment the woman may need such as cosmetic surgery.

    It makes it seem even worse the fact that they were a family.
    How on earth can anybody bring themselves to do that to a family?

    I believe that what they did deserves pretty harsh punishment.
    You can't allow a violent attack like that.

    Oh, but we will.

    Some judge somewhere will do their usual social worker routine and the criminals who violently attacked this woman will learn that their behaviour is considered entirely acceptable.

    And then it's just a matter of time until they do something similar again to somebody elese.

    Maybe it'll be a member of one of our families.
