    logo_ycsoSedona AZ (May 31, 2018) – On May 27, 2018, just after 5 pm, deputies were dispatched to Big Park School in the Village of Oak Creek, regarding a vandalism in progress. The reporting party indicated several juveniles were hitting the playground equipment with an axe. Deputies arrived and witnessed one of the suspects striking one of the slides with the axe. He was ordered to drop and axe and immediately complied. A total of 6 juveniles were detained.

    The axe was seized and deputies saw significant damage to several pieces of playground equipment. Deputies determined 4 of the 6 juveniles, ages range from 12 to 13, were directly involved. All 4 admitted participating in the vandalism and will be charged with Criminal Damage. Estimated damages exceed $1000 – some of the damage can be seen in photos.

    School officials were notified and demanded prosecution. Each of the juveniles was released to their respective guardians after being fully briefed on the callous nature of their child’s actions and pending court appearances.

      It’s hard to comprehend these actions. Summer normally is a time.to enjoy and have a good time with your friends and family. Times have changed. Maybe it’s time for school all year?

      Is it possible that the parents of the vandals will be responsible for paying for the
      damage to the school ground equipment? And then the vandals should be made
      to work and pay back their parents. Just slapping their hands won’t make them
      change their bad habits.

      i think these kids should be back handed and there parents and the school should make them work the whole entire summer to pay for the fine you shouldn’t blame the parents for their actions their parents raised them as best as the could and they just decide not to listen to them.Yes the kids should be punished but the parents shouldn’t be ,

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
