A story from Victoria today has chilled the heart of parents everywhere: a 16-year-old boy who appears, to most observers, to be a true sociopath. According to The Geelong Advertiser, the boy has amassed more than 140 charges since he was 10 years old, including bestiality, cruelty to animals, arson, theft and criminal damage. Recently he was also found with two young girls – one just four years old – who had been reported missing by their parents.
An officer told the Children’s Court magistrate this week that these charges were only “the tip of the iceberg”.
A policewoman, giving evidence, said the boy’s offending was “escalating”, he had no respect for police or court orders, and should not be granted bail.
“He chokes animals and says he likes feeling the last breathe they take,” she said.
He defies every court order levelled against him, all while promising that he’s changed his ways. The paper reports that he is neither teary nor embarrassed, as is the usual figure in a Children’s Court. He smirks. He’s cold. He stares. “His behaviours are sociopathic and extremely disturbing,” an officer told the court. “(He) is an unacceptable risk to the community on so many levels, he is uncontrollable, he has a hatred of women, he has no respect for property or people’s belongings. He is dangerous.”
“What can I do?” the magistrate said.
The teen had broken every court order given to him, and at the time of the offence had five active Youth Supervision Orders over him.
“I am aware of the limitations of the Children’s Court Act, I’m hamstrung as to how I deal with the matter,” the magistrate said.
He decided not to impose another order, as the teen would only break it.
