Daughter got robbed today.....her first time.

Paddy Samurai

Brought my daughter(shes 9) into dublin city centre today so she could buy herself some books she wanted.When into fastfood place in O'connel street , while we were there some scumbag robbed a little plastic handbag (her favourite) along with her new story books(19 euro in total).
Staff were helpfull enough ,the ones that could speak english.

Personally i thought it was a good lesson for my daughter although she did get upset.

When back to bookshop and replaced her books,rang her aunt and found out were she got handbag,bought replacement in sale for 4 euro.Told my daughter not to let the Feckers get U down and move on.

Ps:Guy in bookshop said they would probably try to get cash refund as receipt was in bag,said his staff would keep an eye out for them.LOL hope some poor innocent does'nt try return some books.

Robbing 9 year olds. I'd like to think this is something of a low but it probably isn't.

JONJO THE MISER

scudzilla

Sorry to hear that OP, it's pure filth/scum like this that make my blood boil.

Pfft. People have been stealing candy from babies for years.


Shitty thing to happen though OP.

That's low so it is, very fucking low to rob a child.

phasers

Aw that's terrible OP, glad your daughter is ok and glad she got her stuff replaced especially the favourite bag! Losing something liken that when you're a kid always stays with you

Joey the lips

Did you buy the books with your credit card.... If so the purchase is insured once reported..

As for it being a good lesson. Your child will prob remember it for life so personally I would not feel the same way but thats me.

bronte

Aww, bless her. That really is disgusting. Thank goodness you managed to replace everything, but how sad. Arseholes. :mad:

Biggins

Very sorry to hear what happened to your daughter.
I hope she is ok now.

Why would somebody even do that? I mean wtf was the filthy scobe expecting to find in a child's plastic handbag?

citizen_p

im assuming they were robbed from beside your table or somthing......

Mars Bar

That's horrible.

This country gets more fcuked up as the days go by.

I hope Karma comes back to bite the person(s) who did this in the ass.

If mace was legal, wouldn't people take great pleasure in spicing up those fúckers lives. Rotten scum, I hope there next dose of coke kills them!

Take her to see Kick Ass. That'll teach her a thing or two.

they dont care who they rob .... 9yr olds or 80yr olds ... a score is a score... a scumbag is a scumbag.....and the kicker .... IF they get caught .... they wont even get a jail sentence.

hopefully your daughter wont suffer mentally - the trauma of getting robbed can be fairly harsh - especially at such a young age, its certainly something to monitor/watch..... keep an eye on her for nightmares/bed wetting or problems with school.

its important for you to keep an eye on her - and also important that you teach her what to do in a similar situation (ie. mental description of the person, clothes, height, build, hair colour, any identifying marks, tattoos scars etc.... watching out for suspicious people and why they are mooching around.... I actually enjoy people watching)

more than likely they assumed the child was spending communion money !!! and probably had a chunk of money in their bag....april/may is prime time for kids to get robbed in this way - most of the time they will be allowed to carry the cash by their parents.

Ah god, the poor little chicken

I think it's sad that the thread title contains the words "first time", suggests the OP expects it not to be the last; scumbags.

Its a shame it was not the other way around.... You could have claimed on the card insurence... ah well

Christ, that's depressing. I'm no fan of capital punishment or anything, but it would be nice if the perpetrator was struck down with a rather nasty bout of cancer. Seriously though, what an awful eye-opening experience for a 9-year-old.

pikachucheeks

OP, sorry to hear about your daughter. At least she had her stuff replaced and she wasn't hurt

It's kind of ironic that a scumbag robber chose to steal books! :pac:

FearDark

To be honest, if they were locked up forever it would be too good for em.

skeleton_boy

Typical of center city Ireland today.

Did she get mugged or did she leave the stuff on an empty seat/on the floor?

For nicking a plastic bag & a few books?!! FFS, it's bad form, but dontcha think that's just a tiny bit on the extreme side of retribution?

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

That's just messed up. Little scumbags. How did they do it, if you don't mind me asking? Did they run past and snatch it or take it on the sly? What does a 9 year old have that somebody would want exactly? That's just divilment. A good kick in the chest would make them think again about doing that...

Absolutely not, theyre obviously scum of the earth if theyre gonna mug a NINE year old, its probarbly not the first time or the last time they will do something like that. Zero tolerance, lock em up, throw away the key, no use to society, nobody will miss them.

Töpher

Unfortunately it's a life lesson we all have to learn, thankfully you were there at the time and able to comfort and look after her.

kwalshe

i'm sure the wan ker scum are aware that some kids might be flush with communion money at the moment

we'llallhavetea_old

thats awful op. poor wee thing

you were fortunate to find the same bag though

Jennyfer

Im so sorry this happened to your daughter. I too brought my 10 year old daughter into town over weekend for same reason, she wanted to buy some books and it was like a big day out for her. To have this happen must have broken your heart. Its such a horrible feeling. I feel so sad for her, thinking how upset my daughter would be in that situation.

Some lousy lowlife f*kers out there...

Erica<3

i go to school in the city centre, and to be honest, hearing your little girl was robbed doesn't surprise me, we had a scumbag come into our school last week robbing school bags.

Scumbags are getting desperate and considering they have no morals to start with...

Holsten

I'm going to assume that these items were left unattended in a fast food place on O'Connell street?!

I would expect anything not nailed down to get nicked.

questioner

my heart goes out to you op, just be glad you didnt catch him.

jd007

Stories like these would make you lose faith in humanity.

to be fair .... if you dont punish them when they do something small - they simply learn to keep doing it until they are punished - then weigh up the chances of getting caught versus the reward and consider that its worth the risk...because the punishments given are ridiculously low.

its a scummy thing to do to rob a 9yr old kid.... scum needs to be treated as SCUM and doesnt deserve human rights (you might think it extreme but why should someone who doesnt behave like a human be treated like a human...and dont give me that PC Bull**** blaming the gear...addiction waaaah wahh waaaah ...b*llox)

I've been the victim of crime in the past and would love the opportunity to get the faceless scumbag/group of scumbags in a room and teach them there are consequences to what they do.... they dont realise that taking someones stuff will have an effect on the person - they have very little remorse and ALWAYS blame drink/drugs addiction...but they never (rarely) change their lives to remove themselves from their addiction and the people feeding it.

Pretty crappy for you and your daughter but not surprising in the least.

Also quite sad to think of how desperate somebody must be in order to steal a child's purse.

DazMarz

Scum, the only words to describe the ''person'' that did this. Utter scum.

thats not the answer .... the solution is sterilisation - scum breeds scum (with small exceptions) .... I've seen generations of criminal families go through the courts system over the last 10yrs.

Daddy gets jailed...mammy tells kids it was the fault of the garda, daddys innocent blah blah blah.... kids blame gardai/society and grow up following in the footsteps of daddy...of course then you get the PC brigade coming along claiming that the child had a harsh upbringing.... all the other kids could afford bikes, little johnny was deprived as a kid .... social welfare, childrens allowance, rent supplements and many other reasons why scum dont bother trying to get a job, the state takes care of them too well.... they top up their lifestyle by taking what they want because they are given everything else

EDIT: just to clarify - I'm not saying everyone on social welfare is scum - just that scum tend to come from families that have been habitually in receipt of state benefits (many are on disability as this is the most used loophole - claiming they are suffering depression/stress 'cos they cant get a job ... depression/stress cant be monitored so the welfare people have to accept the claimants word.....SCUM !!)

Every child of a thief becomes a thief? All thieves should be sterlised to prevent further crime? Cop the f*ck on will ya.

I'm with you on this. We need more people giving to society, rather than scum that just take take take. The knacker minority are terrorising the decent majority. Fcuking sterlilsation, whatever, lets try it!

not claiming EVERY child - but in general families of career criminals tend to follow suit.

do you want me to name names of criminals and their offspring who were also convicted ?
