Young drinkers using Facebook to arrange drinking sessions

GIRLS as young as 12 are using Facebook to arrange late night drinking sessions in Bolton parks.

Now police have launched a crackdown after they received reports of dozens of children causing a nuisance in Willows Park and Leverhulme Park.

And they have issued a message to parents to make sure they know where their children are.

They are warning that youngsters could become victims of serious crime if they are wandering around town at night It is thought that some children, who travel from across the borough to gather in the parks, are telling parents they are staying at friends’ houses before going out drinking.

Police have launched Operation Lagerfeld to combat the problem, which involves patrolling hotspots and taking misbehaving youngsters home to their parents.

Sgt Dave Tann, from Bolton Central Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We are showing zero tolerance because these girls should not be drinking in the streets in the early hours of the morning.

“They are vulnerable and could become the victim of a serious crime.

“The message to parents is — do you really know where your children are and what they are doing?

“We don’t want to arrest the kids, but we want to make sure they are safe.”

Most of the complaints relate to youngsters aged 12 to 15, and it is thought that the majority are girls.

They congregate in large groups and bring alcohol with them.

Police said catching them to take the alcohol off them was like “a game of cat and mouse”.

This weekend about 25 youngsters gathered in Willows Park, Deane, on Friday night and about 20 on Saturday night.

Insp Wayne Readfern, who is in charge of Bolton East Neighbourhood Policing Team, said that three weeks ago there were more than 100 young people in Leverhulme Park, but that the number has dropped more recently.

He said: “They are coming from all over Bolton to gather here. Sometimes it’s hard to know how many people will turn up.”

Police are dealing with the problem by working with Bolton Council and sending letters to youngsters’ parents.

If they continue to cause trouble, more letters are sent, and in some cases youths are given “acceptable behaviour contracts” or anti-social behaviour orders.

Contracts are not legally binding, but are witnessed by the police, council and parents and can be used as evidence in court for further action, such as seeking an ASBO.

ASBOs can be used, for example, to ban youngsters from entering a particular place or associating with named people, and it is a criminal offence to breach the order.

Cllr Lynda Byrne, who represents Breightmet , said: “There has been a lot of vandalism of the children’s play equipment at Leverhulme Park recently.

“If this is down to the same group of people, who have been meeting up, then we really do need to clamp down on it and stop it happening.

“After all the cuts we haven’t got the funds to replace the equipment. We want it nice for the children and don’t want it spoilt.

“I went to Leverhulme Park with my grandchildren and I have noticed some older children and thought they looked a bit old to be there.”

parents are so addicted to facebook and are to blame for kids following by example.

Poor parenting is mainly the problem, out of sight out of mind, seems to be their motto.
It is these sort of young girls that are prime for sex grooming, their parents should be aware of what their children are up to when they return home, worse for drink

Five children, single parent family where all of the kids fathers have left. One kid's already had a kid of their own and all 5 have had fleeting moments of employment. Somehow, I don't see these kids being pillars of society. These are exactly the sort of kids the article refers to (albeit now older).

Why would you even have five kids?

you are obviously a good example - but many aren't and it is these who need to be brought to book. I did not say it was ALL parents, only those who did not seem to be doing the right thing by their kids. I did not take your query as rude, as I know this is a touchy subject. 2 kids and 4 grandchildren in reply to your query.

I live opposite Leverhulme Park , these children come from Little Lever, Breightmet, Tonge & Darcy Lever. After a few too many (or those that cannot handle the alcohol) become very intimidating. Only a few weeks ago a car was smashed near to midnight on the car park. Some mornings you can walk on the park and there are are some which have slept in the wooden climbing frame over night (which the council have now taped off). Surely their parents are wondering where they are??

We had the same problem last summer until the police started to police the area.

Using Facebook to arrange this sort of thing is deplorable. We used to arrange it in school, behind the bike-sheds during a quick fag and unprotected sex break, and then stick to the arrangement.

How come teenagers can never think of anything to do? Why is it always adults that have to provide stuff for teenagers to do, as if these kids are drooling retards with no creative or imaginative skills? No wonder half of them can't get jobs or function properly as adults. In your case "chelc", you could perhaps do some reading and improve upon your awful, awful spelling.

You seem to have confused me for someone else love. No doubt you're claiming benefits and the majority of your kids are too. Why have five kids? Surely even chavs realise that they'll have to divide their money, time and attention too much to properly care for and raise those children? So yes, I'm intrigued. Once you'd already had two kids, why have a third? Why have a fourth? Why have a fifth?

Teenagers have been going to the park to drink cider since apples grew on trees. There is nothing new here. And certainly nothing to get worked up about. The only startling new revelation is that they are arranging to meet each other via Facebook. Which for some reason the BN think newsworthy.

got to agree it's been going on forever
kid number 1 asks parents to stop at kid number 2's
kid number 2 asks parents to stop at kid number 1's and do something completely different

now we have facebook where kids spell out there daily lives it's hardly surprising they arrange this sort of thing
i don't agree with it and i certainly wouldn't let my lot do it it's very easy to pick up a phone to check with other parents that they are doing what the say
all i can say is some parents must be too trusting or just can't be bothered to make sure

Sorry about that i did get u confused with some one else mostly the man from Smithalls (born with a silver spoon in his mouth !!) (Thanks!!!!for comment means alot) you can't judge the parent's it's been hard fetching them up with morals and respect but what i meant is every one of mine have a different personality!! i learn t with one of mine it's called (MIRROR IMAGE!) treat people how you wish to be treated!! and believe it or not it does work!! so MR Smithalls stick your silver spoon down your throat !!! obviously you even haven't got kids or you have had everything done for you all your life!! (And as for smithalls u think your stuck up but your not Ladybridge used to be called Jam butty estate!! cause they all thought they where better than everyone else look at that estate now!! same has Smithalls!!! Moral of this is don't judge anyone unless you been there!!

Absolute rubish, there is plenty for the kids to do, the fact is they want to drink alcohol, smoke, sniff bubble and smoke weed. The fact is that society will not allow that in youth clubs, pubs, or anywhere for that matter.

The problem isnt the going on the park for a few beers and a shag it is the smashing of stuff up, the burning of the play equipment the rubbish that is left behind and the damge to cars and houses that happens when the **** up kids leave the park.

Just have a look at these two kids on facebook

Clearly you can't spell and most of your spelling aberrations are not slang related. Pretending that you're doing it on purpose is a classic excuse spouted by those who genuinely haven't a clue. I have a job and I could easily get another should I so choose. That's because I have a career and skills that are useful and in demand. I worked at school and I didn't spend my evenings drinking cider in the park smashing up kids' play areas.

Why is it always "they", who have to do something about it? Why do these kinds of people just have that 'victim' mentality where everything is someone else's fault and if it's not handed to them, they feel hard done to? Why can't the community get off its arse, show a bit of organisation, will and effort and do something about it themselves?

Where did I say that "every youngster is the same"? Where did this "fact" come from? I'm not out of order because that's not what I've said, nor implied. You seem to have reading and comprehension levels on a par with your writing skills and those of "tinaarena7331" and "chelc".

It's hard to pin blame on anyone really but young people need motivational parents. Parents who will push them. Make them believe they can be what ever they want too be and make them shy away from this kind of stuff.

 Going out drinking at a weekend is appealing to them as it's makes them feel like adults. I'd personally probably back them that there isn't enough for them to do. Ok they can go to the pics or the lazer quest but there are seven days in a week and doing that isn't cheap for adults let alone children. What are they suppose to do for the next six nights. Ok they should be studying aswell but I wouldn't expect them to have to do that from the moment they wake up to the moment they sleep, every day. 

It's hard but I think the older people in their life have to lead by example and quite often they don't. Their "role models" are on music videos drinking, partying and having sex. There are hundreds of people on the news after  coming out of the clubs and pubs and causing trouble after they have had a few. All adults! What does that say to them?

That's a good idea. Also, excercise - why not join a football/athletics/t
ennis/sports club? Why not get involved mentoring younger kids at the Lad's and Girl's club? Why not spend an hour each night on homework? Why not invest some time and energy on a sel-devised project (build a go-cart, tidy up part of your community etc...if you ring the Bolton News you'll probably get your photo in the paper! Kudos!). There's lots of things for young people to do.

I'm not saying I never got wrecked on a park when I was a kid, but we certainly didn't smash the place up, abuse residents/police, damage property etc. Some people my age did, and now their kids are behaving exponentially worse than their parents, their kids will do the same until the only sane course of action will be to chemically sterilise them (or....and hear me out here...we could put them all on an island, Jersey for example, and let them fend for themselves. Then we film and broadcast the whole thing 24/7. We could call it 'Chave Island, and every now and again we could deposit a Celebrity Chav onto it, Jordan or the chubby blonde chick who used to be in Atomic Kitten. It'd make the licence fee worth every penny).

Or we could go on the internet and complain.

So you've got these kids, moaning that they've nothing to do because they haven't got facilities, then they react by smashing up the facilities that have been created for other children . Repairing this costs money, ergo no money to create facilities for the older kids. Yeah, real smart these kids are.

Sorry but how old are you? Drinking on parks at any age is disrespectful to the residents of these areas but also ruining facilities for younger children. It's no wonder the council are forced to close so many of these parks or take down play areas as this kind of behaviour generally leads to mindless vandalism and costs too much to keep fixing/replacing. As for having 'nothing to do' chelc... Perhaps pester you're parents for money to go to the cinema and things instead of wasting you're life sat on a park in the pitch black and cold getting wasted. It is so sad that children don't aspire to greater things these days.

This is ridiculous. No I don't agree with them smashing up the playground, that is unacceptable, but I'm sick of hearing about the "kids today" we're not all the same. Yes I used to meet my friends at the weekend and drink on the park, but we didn't vandalise anything or cause any mayhem. Why are we all placed in the same category? Just the fact that this is even in the newspaper is ludicrous, surely there is something better to write about! We could tar you all with the same brush and say that all the older generation are stuck up, as it seems like all you want to do is pick little things to slander us "kids today" with.

Five children, single parent family where all of the kids fathers have left. One kid's already had a kid of their own and all 5 have had fleeting moments of employment. Somehow, I don't see these kids being pillars of society. These are exactly the sort of kids the article refers to (albeit now older).

Why would you even have five kids?
Who are you to judge? Do you even know this person? And you're saying the kids aren't being "pillars of society". Take a look in the mirror you rude man.

I referred directly to the information she'd given in this thread. A single parent with five kids who appears to be proud that some of her kids have had fleeting brushes with employment. Her spelling suggests a certain level of education and I've seen nothing since that has changed my mind. I'm simply judging the person that she has presented here.
