    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:
