UK Commissioner Seeks To Ban Ultrasonic Anti-Teen Device

mikesd81 points out a Times Online article that discusses the legality of the Mosquito sound device, which is used to annoy and drive off younger people with sounds that are too high-pitched for most adults to hear. We discussed how annoying this device can be a couple years ago. From Times Online: "Sir Albert Aynsley-Green, the Children's Commissioner for England appointed to represent the views of the country's 11 million children, has set up a campaign — called Buzz Off — that is calling for the Mosquito to be banned on grounds that it infringes the rights of young people. 'These devices are indiscriminate and target all children and young people, including babies, regardless of whether they are behaving or misbehaving,' Sir Al told the BBC. 'The use of measures such as these are simply demonizing children and young people, creating a dangerous and widening divide between the young and the old.'"

    What the fuck is your problem? Well actually you are part of the problem. Bitch'n about things not being your fault. You know something? It is your fault. My problems are not your fault but where the hell did I say they where?

    You know what makes it your fault? Because you sit around an bitch about it and don't do nothing constructive. Posting signs and arresting kids for being kids doesn't work. As a society this is all our fault.

    Get off your ass and out from in front of the computer and do something with your life. If the teens/kids in your community need a place to play then get out there and start talking to people about doing it. Do something.

    And if you don't like my option put me on your ignore list and shut the fuck up.
