After the arrest, more than a month after the attack, an interrogation of two hours follows. In the case of the son – as is often the case – the regret comes too late. “He was very shocked, but he was the dick. He will have to learn from it. Without thinking about it, it was just that time. Although this is not for him, he must pay for this.”
The judge also shared that opinion. The 13-year-old boy receives 60 hours of community service, another 60 hours conditional and 4,600 euros in damage must also be reimbursed by the perpetrators. “As parents, we increase the punishment with another 60 hour community service. In the summer he can work with me to work, to pay the compensation.”
‘Heavy lesson, but a good one’
Contact with the co -perpetrators is forbidden by his parents, just like the use of Snapchat. “Snapchat is simply dangerous. If you see moving for videos on it … That is bizarre. It’s a tough lesson for him, but a good one. I am ultimately happy that he was caught, that it stayed at once.”
Kees wants to protect other parents from similar scenes. “To experience this as a family, that is very intense. I have not been a sweetheart in the past, but this is really different.”
He warns: “You don’t want your own child to do this, but also not that another child does this. But it is the order of the day. Certainly if money is waved, they are sensitive to that. And before you know it, you are just in it.”
