OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES AND CHILDREN

The air really turned blue in Cary Lane the other night. The language from a group of youngsters near the bus stop was terrible. And their outbursts were loud. Very loud.
This would seem to back up the results of a national survey, revealed in the Scunthorpe Telegraph and other newspapers, which suggests 'hoodies' are viewed with suspicion by a surprisingly high proportion of adults in Yorkshire and Humberside.
Through its 3Bs project, Brigg Town Council is trying to offer something for youngsters to do, rather than roam the streets. That's a very worth aim, but it's not going to be an easy task.
It's several years now since bus companies stopped using Cary Lane after dark because of concerns about youngsters hanging about there.
Now you can't expect the police to be everywhere, every minute of the day. And the resources at the disposal of the good Insp Rutty are very limited. But it's a fact Brigg police station is only a good stone's throw from the bus stop in Cary Lane.
Still, if arrests were made, there's no reason to think the Crown Prosecution Service would take things to court. And, if cases did get that far, what sentences would be handed out?
