Can a 9-yo drink 18 Codys?

[_Shrek_]

Love it when someone doesn't recognise they are the do gooder pc brigade member.

This has nothing to do with lowered drinking age and all to do with fuck wits. 20 or 18 doesn't matter , the kid was 9 FFS with one STUPID brother and aunty. Not sure on the mother, all out rage etc but then the kid (9 year old) says he has done it before, and where did the brother and aunt get the fucked up attitude to booze?
Age is irrelevant, the problem is the lack of respect for booze.

maybe I should have left out the age thing then, but aunties, uncles, care givers & parents are to scared to say no just encase they get done for stopping them from their rights, even as young as this & you know that it was a lot different 30 years ago, the FUA came when parents were stopped from disciplining kids along with what was & is being taught in schools on TV etc... today ie. it's some one else's fault I'm just a victim of my up bringing & society.....

when it was 20.... 18 yo got in.... now it's 18... 16 & younger are getting in, so it does have a lot to with the FUA

The first time I got drunk was about 20 years ago. I was about 4 at the time.

not a fucking lot, if mine are anything to go by
rule #1: snitch if someone hussles you
rule #2: obey obey obey
rule #3: if you can't google it, it doesn't exist.

fucking waste of time and money IMO.

and FYI, retards, there's no such thing as a "compulsory donation" that shit is called a FEE.

But "it's OK cause he's a Mori bro!"
As per his big brothers comment.
Na Akzle we don't have a problem. We have a fucking huge mess coming when this one gets old enough to make more, on us and expect that we continue to look after him and his, cause, yeah Na!

We've already got a huge mess ... there are others like him out there - just this one got sprung and dumped on U-tube ...

Whatayamean "we" Tonto?

"We" as in New Zealand's residents .. the "we" that you insist I talk about - not the "them" and "us" ... So now - live up to the "we" you want to insist on ...

He is "our" responsibility .. (clearly someone has top be responsible - his family are not going to be ...)

Maybe he could stay at your house.

He may be my countryman and I absolutely agree that he should have precicely the rights I do. But I'm certainly not his caregiver and that's the only person that can be responsible for any child.

If that's not his parents then take him to someone who can be responsible for him.

Oh, you'll have to make a few law changes to make that work btw.

I'll bet it is some of his whanau. Even if found guilty buggar all will happen to them.

Wow.

First time I'm seeing the original footage.

First things first, the guy filing comes across as a total bully. Yes the drinking kid is majorly in the wrong but you can see he's clearly trying to impress the older one by being a 'hardcore drinker'

When did becoming a hardcore drinker mean so much to a 9 year old kid? What kind of role models do they have if they think being blind drunk in the middle of the day is something thats ok?

Secondly, why is it ok for the older kid to post the video on youtube? because he feels that the police are taking too long to do anything? He doesn't need to see the end result. Its nothing to do with him after they have been notified. I'm also fairly sure that the police don't have the resources to hold the hand of every single person who makes a complaint right through to resolution.

The huge saga this video has becoming has been a real eye opener in to the booze culture of NZ. We hear more about people going out and getting "wasted" than we do about people who have a drink or two, and are completely fine.

Theres such a huge focus on drink driving, yet the answer is fines and loss of licence usually. How about more funding for the help the problem drinkers actually need? I tell you what, its far easier to sweep problems with booze under the carpet and ignore them in this country than it is to actually face up to them.

I worry for future generations. If we don't educate them right, we don't stand a chance.

How about we take the cost of that help out of the parents DPB/Dole.

That's what we're actually paying them to do, after all, and they're obviously not doing it.

Because problem drinkers aren't just 9yr olds from hamilton.

Problem drinkers come from all walks of life. all ages and all positions on the employement ladder.
Some are functional, others are not. We can't lump problem drinking on beneficiaries, because its simply not just them.

Naaa ... no law change needed ... if there is no-one in his family who can take care of him then CYPFS will put him in state care ... and then he is still likely fucked for life ...

And don't you know "it takes a village to raise a child"?

Yeah... but that's usually with the parent's consent.

I hear the kid got Neknominated

*Shrugs* If they’re adults it's their problem. And by that I mean it's not a problem anyone else can fix.

A lot of people get all angsty about addictive behaviours and want to “fix” them. In the absence of any better ideas they often want to throw money at them. Usually someone else's.

But the fact is money can't fix personal problems. The only place the fix can come from is the person.

We no longer have villages, that's the problem.

The closest you could come would be to send the kid far, far away to a rural backwater somewhere, to live particularly amongst "uncles" that can show him how real men behave.

It might even work, for a year or two...
