Following a startling string of unprovoked attacks on senior train passengers, a group of young females are being pursued by law enforcement.
British Transport Police have today released CCTV images of three teenage girls thought to be behind the attacks, which took place on Tuesday 18 March, on board Southeastern trains in South London.
The first incident unfolded at about 9.30 pm when an elderly man was travelling on a Southeastern service from London Bridge to Woolwich Arsenal.
Without warning, the pensioner was reportedly attacked by a group of three girls in what officers are describing as a ‘vicious and cowardly’ attack.
Just over an hour later, at about 11 pm, a second victim – this time an elderly woman – was targeted on a different train heading from London Bridge to Erith.
One of the girls is said to have approached the woman before launching an attack. When another female passenger courageously stepped in to assist, the assailant turned her attack on the Good Samaritan too.
Police are asking the public to assist in identifying the females they suspect were engaged in each of the horrible crimes.
Images released today reveal the suspects dressed in casual streetwear. One girl wore a pink top under a black parka with a fluffy hood.
Another was dressed in a black jacket with a red logo on the right sleeve, grey trousers, and black shoes. The third donned a black jacket over a grey tracksuit.
British Transport Police are now appealing to the public to help bring the assailants to justice.
A spokesperson said: ‘These were appalling attacks on vulnerable individuals who were simply going about their journeys. We will not tolerate this kind of behaviour on our rail network and urge anyone who recognises the girls in these images to come forward.’
These teenage girls clearly weren’t the brightest spark in the electrical circuit—there are pretty much more CCTV cameras on trains and buses than anywhere else. They need to be found and locked away before they do any more harm, which could be far more sinister.
These teens, however, don’t give a damn because they will most likely receive a slap on the hand and a trip to Disney World when they go before a court.
Now that these adolescents are aware of how lawless the UK is, they are fearless, and as people are growing weary of this, it is time for our laws to change.
Adult offences merit adult punishment. Those who attack or scam the elderly I find extremely offensive. If it were my daughters I would have marched them down to the police station myself.
However, this is what is happening in our country. There is no discipline because our government have taken a generation of children and destroyed the family unit and it’s all intentional.
I hear it all the time, people saying that parents are slothful and they can’t be bothered to punish their children. The fact is, and I have heard it numerous times from parents – they’re too afraid to punish their children. I even saw somewhere that a teenager caused some offence and was taken back to his parent and the parent gave his child a clip around the ear and then got arrested for doing so.
Sometimes just saying NO to a child is not good enough, sometimes it takes more than that. When I was a child, if I was defiant I would get a slap, sometimes a whack. Discipline equals love and boundaries need to be put in place from the beginning, but parents are not allowed to anymore and this is what children thrive on.
Sadly, once these teenagers know they’re being looked for, they won’t be shocked, scared or even worried, they will just see it as a validation of their actions.
Time for feral juveniles to be dealt with appropriately. This has nothing to do with their childhoods and other liberal horse manure, it’s all about being nasty and rude for the fun of it, and discipline being prohibited in schools and at home has a lot to answer for.
