4 teenagers have been arrested in England over a burglary and consequently a willful total destruction of an upcoming model railway exhibition exhibits, a damage bill over £ 85.000.00.

What can you do with teenagers who maliciously wreck a model train layout, who seems to have no conscience for their behaviour and actions and they most probably thought it was fun at the time. I can understand boys will be boys and we all have been there but destroying a layout beyond recognition is something you most probably only find in these action movies whereas any reality is replaced by fantasy and than copied in real life without realizing the damage they've done to people who have given their life time and precious spare time to create a peaceful and thoughtful plan for many people to enjoy., and here we have seen 2 examples of extremes, what enjoyment suppose to be. how can you educate people to respect other people's property, how can you punish teenagers who in my mind have gone past any rehabilitation strategy but I would recommend for these 4 to be introduce to the victims and make an effort on both sides of the fence to integrate them into rebuilding the layout as a sign of saying "SORRY" and hopefully brings them back to real life.

Instead of adding to this thread about the exhibition destruction, it's already in another thread that was merged from two topics.
