Sons stolen scooter

Ricky from Burwood

Hi everyone,

Today (Sun 30th Aug) at around 2pm my 10yr old son was at Thompson Park skate park with his nana riding his new scooter that he got for his birthday.

2 older boys who he think were early teens asked to ride it and ended up running off with it.

His nana was unaware as she was also watching his smaller cousin at the time but realised when he came to her quite devastated.

I spent a few hrs driving around Brighton but we didn't see it again.

If your son turns up home with a new looking green scooter (MGP VX9 PRO) that they didn't have before today it may be my son's.

Its a long shot but I had a 10yr old crying himself to sleep tonight. He has learning difficulties and is just really trusting so this is a tough lesson for him.

Scooter looks like the one attached.

Thanks everyone. May be a good thing I didn't find the kids yo be honest....

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
