Really? Hasn't this been called out numerous time by community and police that they are arresting the same offenders? Why would someone stop if there are no consequences or mandatory restriction?? Where is the legislation taken into Parliament for strict laws for carjacking and home invasions irrespective of their age? When will that come into effect??? We need strict laws IMMEDIATELY to stop this increase in crime and getting more and more teenagers spoiled by criminal groups. Sign and share petition and take raise your voice to your MP.

It follows revelations more than a third of those involved in the riot have since gone on to commit more violent crimes. A desperate mother has told The Herald Sun she had begun using a motorcycle chain to lock her son at home. The riots were allegedly the 16-year-old's first foray into violent crime. However, in August he was then charged over a series of aggravated burglaries and car thefts in Melbourne's south east. The woman essentially told a Children's Court magistrate her son shouldn't have been granted bail in the first place and should remain in youth detention over the latest charges. The youth isn't alone, with more than a third of his fellow rioters also alleged to have re-offended since the violence in Federation Square.
