That followed a campaign of vandalism and anti-social behaviour which has seen the town’s bus station damaged, vile graffiti daubed onto the seawall, and youths caught on the roof of the shut Jubilee Park pub on the Promenade.
We asked whether young people have respect for the law anymore.
Here is a selection of your views from our Facebook page...

Hide AdThis is what happens when discipline is taken away.Parents, teachers and police have zero power and the kids have the power instead.
We now have feral kids that don’t get told off and now they have no fear/respect.

Charge thier parents for the cost of removing the paint.
Rachel Wilson
Correct!. They need to be made an example of.
Shame the parents.
Set a precedence that this will not be tolerated.
Pamela Ingham
They don’t care. Not taught respect.
Have everything handed to them on a plate.
Can’t smack them can’t shout at them can’t do anything! Shameful world we live in.
Jackie Hallam
Discipline begins at home.
Parents need to get a grip of the situation.
Colin Williams
Stick them in the cells for a couple of days!

Makes my blood boil. I had a go at three teens causing damage at Marton Mere the other evening.

I guess having the dog with me may have helped. Sadly the Police aren’t allowed to do their job as they used to.

We were fearful of the law when we were kids. Unfortunately kids these days just aren’t.

Until whoever is in power in this country gives priority to putting more police on the streets...this will continue... plus a major rethink on what is regarded as petty crime....

It’s not lack of respect! They know they’ll get away with it!
