Now this is a bit of local news for me, as I only live a few miles away, but it shocked me so I had to share it with you all reading this blog.

On the 20th October a local family David and Michelle Statham, 38 and 33, and their children Reece, 13, Jay, nine, Mason, 20 months, and Ellouise, 10 weeks, were tragically killed on the M6 motorway on their way back home to North Wales.

Now what makes this really sickening is that the push bikes of Reece and Jay who were origannly from Birmingham were stolen from their home in Llandudno. What goes through the mind of a child who steals bikes from a grieving family home.

The boy who is 16 has been given a 24 hour reparation order where he must make an apology to the Statham’s via writing.

The two bikes were taken from the Statham’s back garden only three days after their funeral while.

In a statement read to the court the children’s grandmother, Carole Hagans, said: “All of my family’s possessions are cherished.”

“I’m deeply upset that although recent events have been so publicised someone has targeted my family’s home and stolen the bicycles. This is a truly callous act.”

“I now don’t feel that I can leave the property empty as I’m fearful more possessions will be stolen.”

In his defense the boy said that he had no idea that the bikes belonged to the Statham’s and that after seeing the bike only “borrowed” it for a “short journey” and is sorry he upset the immediate family.

So what do you think, do you think his apology is enough? Or do you think the punishment should be more?

    I don’t think an apology is good enough because regardless of who’s bike it was, he took it without their knowledge or conscent. In some places, that’s called stealing.
