NEWPORT, Vt. (AP) - An Irasburg teenager and three acquaintances are facing charges they stole $600 to $700 worth of coins from the boy's father.

 

Police say Rick Dunlavey, of Coventry, discovered the thefts in March, when some of the youths - who had apparently been stealing the coins a little bit at a time, from tins under his kitchen sink - broke into his home to get the ones they hadn't already taken.

 

Police say 17-year-old Brendan Dunlavey, who doesn't live with his father, pleaded not guilty this week in Vermont District Court in Newport to two counts of petit larceny. Three others pleaded not guilty to other charges.

 

The Caledonian Record says Brendan Dunlavey showed a friend where his father kept the coins, and that the boys spent the coins on gas, food and drugs.

Spent the money on drugs?

 

400 hours of community service, repay all the money, and then break their fingers.

Yea, the problem is more times than not the parent or person that has the coins or money is just flat our murdered, even for less money when it comes to drugs being involved.People like that usually have a mind set of old coins big score. I guess he should consider himself as one of the lucky ones.And a slap on the wrist is not what needs to be done with youth gone bad like this.

He needs a good, old fashioned caning like Singapore did to the American teenager who vandalized property in the 1990's.

My Dad used a green willow branch. I can still see him taking out his pocket knife, cutting the switch, folding up the knife and running the branch through his thumb and fore finger stripping off the green leaves.

 

The whipping was worse if you ran and he had to catch you, so you just stood there and closed your eyes. New britches absorbed some of the sting, but the seats of our jeans were always about paper thin from wear, so it was as if it were bare skin.

 

What ever it was you did to deserve that whipping you avoided like the plague in the future.

 

We didn't venture to far off the line, it even helped a little when we got to big for a whipping. By today's standards, we would have been put in foster homes and my Dad would have been arrested for child abuse. Tsk, tsk...bring back the old Father/Son bonding experiences. He did not abuse us, he taught us there might be retribution for your actions, plain and simple.

I remember that and the "outrage" that went with it. As if someone could go to another country, break the laws and then expect different treatment. It was ridiculous.
