Parents Urged to Take Action After Children Cause Havoc on 89 Bus

In a shocking incident that has raised serious concerns about juvenile behaviour and public safety, a group of children caused chaos on the 89 bus from Welling at approximately 3.15pm yesterday. According to eyewitness accounts, the youngsters were involved in setting fire to papers on the bus while it was packed with passengers, including several toddlers.

The situation escalated rapidly, with the fire posing a significant danger to everyone on board.
One of the children was heard exclaiming, “we going to get arrested Bruv,” as they attempted to flee the moving vehicle at Christ Church, highlighting the potential for even greater disaster had the bus doors been open during transit.

An alarmed parent on the bus, who also expressed concern for their own toddler’s safety, confronted the group only to be met with a barrage of verbal abuse.

The parent later expressed disbelief and disappointment at the behavior displayed, stating, “if I was their parent, I would be absolutely ashamed!!”The bus driver was forced to evacuate all passengers to ensure the safety of everyone onboard and to verify that the fire had been successfully extinguished. Although no injuries were reported, the incident has sparked a wave of criticism aimed at the so-called “feral kids” and their disregard for public safety and the well-being of others.

Authorities and community members are now calling on the parents of these children to take responsibility and address their offspring’s dangerous behavior. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of neglecting juvenile delinquency and the imperative need for parental involvement in guiding children’s actions.

Police are using this incident as an opportunity to emphasise the severe risks associated with setting fires in public spaces, particularly in enclosed environments such as buses.

There is an ongoing investigation to identify all individuals involved and to take appropriate action to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

This event has undoubtedly shaken the community, prompting calls for increased vigilance and cooperation between parents, schools, and authorities to instill a sense of responsibility and respect for public safety among the younger generation.
