    A High Court judge in Belfast has ordered a teenage boy charged with a series of robberies to surrender his Xbox games console as part of the conditions of him being freed on bail.
    The 13-year-old boy, who cannot be identified because of his age, was accused of a number of burglaries in the Downpatrick area of Co Down and applied to be released on bail.
    When the judge asked the boy what it was he owned that meant a lot to him the teenager said it was his games system.
    The judge then ordered him to give the Xbox to the authorities, saying it would be returned to him when the charges were disposed of.
    The judge told the youth it would show him what it was like to have something he valued taken from him.

    Trendy judge!.

    Genius actually.
    We need more judges like this one, this might actually make the kid think about what he did and realize how bent it was.

    its very clever.....

    I mean what would be more upsetting then having the thing you loved the most taken off you....

    a lot of parents should learn to do the same...

    Stupid kid. Should have said it was his pet rock or something.

    shocking, you should lose your x box for missing your bed time or eating sweets instead of your dinner.

    you deserve jail big fine or community service for a series of robberies!

    The judge is probably being more parental to the child than his actual parents.

    Wouldn't be hilarious if they ran a check on the S/N of the Xbox and found out it was knicked.

    The thought of going back to jail, losing the new xbox AND never getting his old one back might dissuade him from that...
    This is just bail remember. If he f*cks up before he's due back in court again he won't be getting his xbox back at all.
