They are treeorists and so should be locked up.

They might besome future terrorists and build WMD instead of tree houses.

Makes sense to me.

Mini moto's confiscated and destroyed under NL legislation

Obviously easier to target kids than grown-ups

And what pray are the 'long term consequences' of building a den in a tree?

If they were Gypsy kids they would be exempt.

They should have just stolen a car and then killed someone with it, the law doesn't seem to mind that

So you think it's fine for them to be DNA tested and locked up? They weren't intentionally damaging the tree.

Your totalitarian Eastern Block roots are showing matey. I can quote see how this would be acceptable in 1980s soviet Russia, but here we used to have this little thing called 'freedom'.

God! It must be tulip to be a kid these days.
