Rachel Allen's son arrested again...

gmisk

I can see thread on this has been closed...and can't see another.
But it seems Joshua has taken the range rover for another spin while drunk

He was also caught at a checkpoint last month over the limit as well....

Such extraordinarily privileged children with so many advantages... and still complete wasters.

Man with broke phone

Who knows the full story. Dangerous to raise a kid in close proximity to a viewer of child porn.

You couldn't make this up, I noted during the last episode the indo seemed to have a recepie / article from Rachel every day of the week for months, seemed like a lame attempt to deflect away from the story. Here we go again I guess, must get my cooking utensils ready.

He served a whopping 3.5 months of his 15 month sentence...
He was caught drink driving last month...
And now seemingly he has crashed his car while drunk...
On temporary release...so why wasn't he locked back up?
This isn't going to end well.

I blame the parents, ffs if you name your kid Joshua then what the fcuk do you expect to happen.

Josh Allen wouldn't be the sharpest cutting knife in the kitchen press.

At least he's a bit of a rebel, and if you look at a lot of family's around the world there's always one, I suppose in my family I'm the odd one out.
Never drank a drove, but I'm the quirky oddball who goes against the grain and have no shame or blame...

Throwing stones at glasshouses and all that, I worked in their gardens in the 90's great family and I have fond memories picking fruit and pruning apple trees, maintaining a maze etc..

the problem for those with privilege is that they are tabloid fodder whenever they do anything wrong and on places like boards you'll have hundreds of derogatory comments.

If it was "under privileged" it would not make any headlines

Sounds like he's on the spectrum to me. Surely nobody could be that thick.

He should be in rehab.

colm_mcm

Apparently it was his father who crashed the car, and he’s taking the rap for it.

road_high

If I’m reading it right he had already been off the road for drink driving prior to this incident?

Open the Pubs

Not everyone has it is as easy as other people think.

It's also quite unusual these days for a young lad to never having completed the Junior Cert. That stands out reading the article.

IAMAMORON

It appears he is a troubled soul, it must be tough on the family. It shows all the hallmarks of addiction issues. One thing....

If I was trying my upmost to temper a child, just out of prison, the last thing I am doing is handing out keys to a Range Phucking Rover? Ah ah, that is a big no no. They could not possibly have know he was previously breathalysed? I am wary of this because the Examiner rarely refused ink either? If he was arrested last month how come he was not charged?

A Garda spokesman said: "Arising from the incident a man, 20s, was arrested for ‘driving while intoxicated’. He was taken to Midleton Garda Station and later released without charge. Investigations are ongoing."

If he was drinking and driving he would have been charged.

I respect that the Examiner are trying to sell papers and all, but....

It's certainly possible but I'm sure that would have already been brought up by his solicitor at his previous trial.

road_high

Clearly quite a troubled chap...who the fcuk would hand the keys of a €60 k Range Rover to him though? Seriously, asking for trouble

lawrencesummers

Says a lot about the families cooking that he prefers prison food and will go to serious lengths to get it.

Didnt he get caught with copious amounts of weed and get locked up this year for 15 months? Quarter of 15 is 3.75 months, so 11 months really, how much tr did he get?

I don't think any of us are sure if they gave him the keys to the car.

That happened a few weeks weeks ago so I don't think he'd be off the road until the court day.(Well most people I know who've got caught drink driving have driven around for months until their court date.)

Yea from what I remember it was dealer amounts, caught via the post to him

Yup, that stood out to me in a previous article. Like, I didn't go to the most ritzy school, just a bogstandard community and even at my school, people who didn't do the Leaving Cert were considered wasters, never mind the Junior Cert.

It quite probable that this young lad has issues - yet plenty of you having a great laugh at his expense.

Most families have someone with issues - either mental health or addiction. Would like people to act the same way and make disparaging comments about someone in your family with similar problems?

I doubt it.

Eh, no one would even know his name if he hadn’t been misbehaving.

To be honest I think there’s something massively amiss there. Be it the parenting received, a trauma of some kind or psychiatric illness. Just goes to show it can happen to anyone regardless of background. I feel sorry for him more than anything.

Yeah same here, my school was rough enough and it would be fairly unusual for someone to not to do the Junior Cert. Even lads that were expelled or transferred elsewhere. Several wouldn't have done the Leaving though.

I always thought you were required by law to complete the Junior Cert, only after it could you drop out?

He is not on the Autistic Spectrum. That does not excuse or explain why he was doing drugs. Those diagnoses can be bought if you have enough money. There may be different motivations by parents to get ASD diagnosis or not get them.

You go private you can buy whatever you want. I have lost all faith in the western medical profession.

You can have a sit down with the social worker and bring in your own education specialist and private social worker (if you have the money) and then work out a plan to make it go away. Isnt great to have money to make problems go away?

You may be what you term an oddball and a bit of a rebel, but have you been found in possession of copious amounts of drugs for sale and supply, been sentenced to jail time, gone to rehab and then been found drunken driving numerous times ?

Things have moved on from the 90s.
Maybe the young fella might have been using the maze to hide some North African type plants.
Then again that seems like too much like hard work for him.

Or he could be just a complete di*khead either who thinks he can do what he wants. He doesn't seem to have between his ears at the very least.

And he's 20. Unless he's braindead, he'd have to have some level of understanding of his behaviour.

I don't think there's any law that requires you to do the Junior Cert, the law only requires that you attend school till you're 16.

If some kid decides not to bother turning up for the exams, there's feck all anyone can do about it.

Seems like a very troubled kid any road. Comes from a dark family with a dark history. I'd suggest he needs a lot of help to recover from his upbringing, but it's unlikely to be forthcoming.
