snefroe Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 This is a very general consideration. Nowadays Lego is not at the top of children's desires. Videogames, school-bags with cartoon heroes, etc..., they are not less expensive than Lego! hm... I don't really see your point. sure, it is true that many teenagers want other stuff instead of Lego, but to my knoledge, they're trying to steal games, clothes,... as well... Quote

Hinckley Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I think most of you are missing the point. Lego is obviously way too expensive and should be given a serious price reduction to stop this kind of criminal behaviour. Really, I don't think the cost of LEGO is a leading factor in the rising crime rate among children and teens... What is this topic about again? A little girl who showed a Wal-Mart employee a knife? Belgian prisons? Spiderman? As long as we're off topic, do any of you watch LOST? I love that show. Do you think maybe I just like things that are four letter words written in all caps and starting with the letter 'L' LEGO, LOST, LOTR... interesting... and now a series of emoticons to indicate sarcasm :-| :-D ;-) ;-) ;-) Quote

Asuka Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I dunno... From what I read she stole something, waved around with a knife when caught, left everything and rode off. To me it looks like it could have been any toy. Maybe she just happened to be near the LEGO aisle when she felt the urge to take something... Who knows.... and does it really matter? I remember there were a lot of toys I loved in my childhood.... Police say the 7 to 8-year-old girl hid the toys under her coat and tried to walk out the door. (....)Police say the little girl then opened her jacket and displayed a combo carving knife with a forked point and a 10" blade, saying she was armed for protection. (Tampabays 10.com)What the.... she displayed?? For example, Alice, a seven year old child: Maybe another picture.... 8-| What does it mean to be a child? Early Childhood (ages 4 - 11)When children go to preschool, they broaden their social horizons and become more engaged with those around them. Impulses are channeled into fantasies, which leaves the task of the caretaker to balance eagerness for pursuing adventure, creativity and self expression with the development of responsibility. If caretakers are properly encouraging while being consistently disciplinary, children are more likely to develop positive self-esteem while becoming more responsible, and will follow through on assigned activities. If not allowed to decide which activities to perform, children may begin to feel guilt upon contemplating taking initiative. This negative association with independence will lead them to let others make decisions in place of them. (Some psycho brabbling)The law: In the US, the age of criminal responsibility is established by state law. Only 13 states have set minimum ages, which range from 6 to 12 years old. Most states rely on common law, which holds that from age 7 to age 14, children cannot be presumed to bear responsibility but can be held responsible. Does the law justify? And could it even make sense? In my view the assimilation of the infant and the insane is misleading. It tries to squeeze into the age-based defense the same justification as that used for insanity, namely that the person accused of an offense is completely lacking in practical rationality. But this does not seem as obviously true of children as it is for the mentally disordered. Children of a certain age (and often of a young age) can give reasons for doing what they do. Sometimes these reasons seem distorted in the same way as those provided by the mentally disordered ( Quote

I'lll show it to you all when the magazine gets published (she is not sure if she is allowed to show it already.) Quote
conductorjoe Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 She should spent Christmas locked up in her room and not get any presents...Plus somebody needs to find out how the heck that kid got ahold of a 10 inch knife. Quote

Well, I don't think the girl is the problem. By the sound of things, I'm guessing her parents are to blame. Of course, we can't be sure of that, but that'd be my guess. And 10 inch, that's somewhere around 30 cm. right? I don't think common kitchen knives are that long, so that's not an option... Quote

Starwars4J Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 There's an important bit of information left out of that wiki article between Alice and her photographer. See, he actually asked her to marry him when she was 12. Her mother disapproved, and forbid the two from speaking until she was older. Surely if he loved her, he could wait. He did. They lost contact and he ran into her when she was a beautiful woman in her 20's. Surprisingly, he lost interest, and didn't want to marry her anymore :-| Quote
5150 Lego Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I think most of you are missing the point. Lego is obviously way too expensive and should be given a serious price reduction to stop this kind of criminal behaviour. This doesn't really make any sence. I company shouldn't drop there prices just because somone atempted to steal some of there products. Espeacially since we have no evidence that high price was a factor in this. Anyways, i don't think that lego's are so high price that it would be a factor. But again, no evidence. Well, I don't think the girl is the problem. By the sound of things, I'm guessing her parents are to blame. Of course, we can't be sure of that, but that'd be my guess. I'd have to agree. My first thought is the parents too. People are so quick to blame the media when a kid does somthing, that they fail to look at the people responsible for raising them. Quote
