Crikey. How bad is alcohol eh? An 11 year old not just stealing to get alcohol, but stealing the alcohol itself. And spirits too.

Sweet baby Jesus in sports wear. That drug is a bad un.

I've got a half drunk lager next to me mind!

He will get done, the age of responsibility is age 10. Where were his parents at the time?
