A teenage boy is the latest to be charged after he allegedly spat on and kicked a female bus driver in Perth's south-east, as police crack down amid claims of a holiday youth crime wave.

"She's returned home, so on the face of it, that is good news in terms of physical injuries," he said.Mr O'Brien said there had been requests from bus drivers for better security, but progress had been slow.

"People that go to work shouldn't have to worry about going home in an ambulance, or worse, not getting home at all."The 13-year-old has been charged amid an apparent escalation in juvenile crime in Perth.Since the beginning of January, at least 16 juveniles have been charged with more than 100 serious offences.

They should be given Tazers to defend themselves

BOOT CAMPS not detention centres.

The softly softly approach on youth crime in the past with Rehab, little to no consequences ,blaming everyone but the perpetrators themselves and their upbringing has worked,right.NOT !.Most just want them gone from their streets so a normal ,safe life can be led

We constantly see stories about how horrible youth get treated in incarceration seemingly ignoring the victims and how it adversely affects their lives.Majority dont really care about tough justice we just want the youth that commit offences off our streets and if not liked,Tough

These are your kids on Marxist brainwashing.

These aspiring rappers deserve a Voice.

You import these violent people, for what reason? This country has now been destroyed. Lock them up and throw away they key. Time for justice for the victim rather than reHabiLitation. No one cares if it is not a deterrent. Lock enough up eventually there wont be any left.

Any information on the background, gang affiliation or other motivation of the youths ABC?

Import the third world, become the third world.

Raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility! This bus driver definitely doesn't deserve any justice, it was just a case of a Lil dindu who has a rough home life.

Add a ban from public transit to the criminal charges, they obviously don't value it and don't care if they ruin it for everyone else.

There are CCTV in our trains. I wonder if there's none in our buses.

Albo loves it.

Honestly , severe punishment is the answer.
