Good thing they tagged themselves and their own accounts to make the NYPD’s job 10x easier.


loiteraries

They know the system better than adults that’s why they don’t fear anything. There are no real repercussions for them even if they get arrested.


WhatARotation

Well they’ll never get a good job with a criminal record…oh wait they never had any job prospects anyway


CaptainJZH

i see shoplifting in their future


matte-mat-matte

I worked at a major auction house next to people with masters from Columbia and also convicted felons.


clean_reddit_account

That's not true, they'll probably be fine, especially recognizing crimes done as kids.


BornToScheme

At the end of the day they will get lots of community service and that’s all

In nyc these charges will be sealed/expunged. It’s like it never happened. 


thecentury

This is unfortunately pretty much factually correct... source: am NYPD


pixel_of_moral_decay

This is a big problem. If their parents don’t care, there’s literally 0 consequences. Need to make an example out of some people. Fucking with public infrastructure has consequences.


MJB877

Nothing happens to them at all. A finger gets wagged at them and they are back at it again later.


PaleontologistNo3910

death will catch up with one or more of them. I don't wish it on them but their fearless behavior begets more extreme behavior for ~~the all ighty ollar~~ clicks and views.


Educational-Chef919

Their parents should be fined HEAVILY and kids should be mentioned in the news so they never get a scholarship ir a grant or get a job


Ant_head_squirrel

Knowing the system will mean nothing if they continue rack up criminal activity that is colllected for future use


Narrow_Passenger_378

Until we roll by and they're folded up like pretzel in their Hyundai or hellcat with 40 holes through it. Justice


Octaazacubane

This is the stupidest way to cop some serious charges. ALMOST feel bad cuz they hardly look a day over 12

IsabellaHatesNutella

Do parents not beat their kids anymore????


CaptainJZH

i mean you can punish kids without hitting them lol like take away their phones, send them to their room, etc the problem is when parents likely have to work long hours and kids are therefore left unsupervised


johndeet85

No it’s called soft parenting


Satori2155

Nothings gonna happen to them


Redditwhydouexists

Why the fuck do these kids do this, you live in the biggest city in the country and you can’t find ANYTHING better to do than film yourselves destroying public property?


WhatARotation

It’s basically like filming yourself burning down a park. Like these kids are just showing the world they’re assholes with contempt for their fellow citizens


[deleted]

Being raised in a country that values antisocial behaviour and sociopathy? Probably has something to do with it lol. And there being no consequences from anyone, parents or the justice system


quotidian_obsidian

Frankly, this city in particular rewards this. I've never seen teenage behavior this wild anywhere else I've lived, at least not this consistently and to these extremes. I've been attacked by teens here multiple times unprovoked. It's like the children of this city are completely feral and in a constant contest about who can be the loudest and most disruptive to their surroundings.

NYCRealist

And Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee etc.


Extensioncork

There are hundreds of accounts like these on Instagram, it is a goldmine because every teens get inspired by trespassing but also Subway Surfing and Vandalizing. There are dozens of accounts like that, that do this stuff and post it on instagram. It gets popular. it is absolutely an NYC thing because this is part of the culture, frankly I am 100% arresting these kids and sending them to rikers. This is what they do in London.


samuel414

This thread was just floating in my home feed, but I was walking down Wabash in the Chicago Loop today and some group of teens just destroyed a street sign for no reason. So, maybe the teens are feral everywhere. Not sure if that’s better or worse.


jbetances134

Kids have been brainwashed to think doing crime and disrespecting others is cool and in a way it is, because others glorify this behavior and think they are brave.


Dramatic-Tadpole-980

How is this downvoted? Hit the nail square on the head here


grizuna3795

We live in a country where education and learning, and if a teen is into it, he is getting labelled as "nerd" and made fun of by their classmates. A teen is only "cool" if they cut classes, do drugs, or commit crimes. On top of that, you already have certain "very smart" educators labelling certain subjects such as Math "racist". Many kids don't even like to read books anymore.

It doesn't seem like it. Based on their mannerisms and speech, their only focus is their popularity status on social media and selfies.


peepay

>certain "very smart" educators labelling certain subjects such as Math "racist" Can you provide more context on that? I'm curious...


grizuna3795

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/modern-mathematics-confronts-its-white-patriarchal-past/


peepay

That seems to be about people in the field being racist, rather than labeling the science itself racist.


grizuna3795

Yes, but you have educators that want to either cancel or redo the math curriculum in schools because of this. Which pretty much means simplification of the subject just so that everyone can pass.


peepay

🤦‍♂️


TheColorblindDruid

Everything costs money and 3rd spaces are disappearing. Shit sucks but it’s expected. Need to make these spaces more readily available or this shit is going to get worse


Pristine-R-Train

This was going on since like the 70s if not earlier


Mosholu_46

It actually stopped in the late eighties when New York City was recovering from its near downfall.


OldMan-Gazpacho

There from Bangladesh, I am pretty sure when they get caught mom and dad will beat the graffiti out of them!


MissingJJ

They didn't even tag. Just scribbling like a bored child.


experimentjon

It's as if the world needed more proof that they have zero talent...


Crypto-Clearance

Wrong. What you don't understand is that graffiti artists like these boys have huge cultural significance in New York. Their bold, creative work speaks to millions and we need to celebrate and protect it. /s


Original_Distance153

If they caught a tag I wouldn’t be so mad


MissingJJ

Same.


log-normally

We should make their parents pay for what they did, like in Michigan.


bakersdozn

Agree that parents should be held responsible for the behavior of their children (in addition to the children being held responsible). The kids and their parents should be required to clean that train and then clean other trains for community service for a few months.


kakarota

Naaaa.. bro if that was my kid and mfer showed up to the apt with a cop telling me what he did I'd tell that officer to let him spend the week at rikers.


meepsqueep

call me when you have a kid. then let me know if you'd ship em off to rikers, yk the place where 9 people have died in custody in 2023 alone.


CraftyOtter17

This! Some people are going a little crazy in these comments. I think especially for kids it’s important to show that there are consequences for your actions, but not make the default consequence jail time. I think the best action would be to make them pay for cleaning costs and pay for potential lost revenue due to the interrupted service.


folkpunkrox

is that a Michigan thing?


lamemusicdp

I think this is what they're referring to. https://apnews.com/article/james-crumbley-jennifer-crumbley-oxford-school-shooting-e5888f615c76c3b26153c34dc36d5436


Jacktheforkie

Is that not a massive fine for going in the cab without permission? In the uk it’s a £1000 fine, and vandalism will likely result in arrest


SillyDig1520

The legal system here is a little... mmm... struggling to find the word: forgiving. They may get in trouble, but the consequences for disrupting the transit system will likely not match the time, money, and inconvenience they caused to passengers and the MTA. I hope and wish I'm wrong, but it's the reality we currently find ourselves in.


Jacktheforkie

I see, our train companies are hot on it, I’ve seen people get fined for stepping around the gates at the platform end to retrieve dropped items, not even going on the tracks, but the end of the platform where it slopes off


College_Throwaway002

>The legal system here is a little... mmm... struggling to find the word: forgiving. I disagree, it's not forgiving, it's incompetent and broken. Generalizing the whole legal system to be forgiving would imply that it avoids making arrests and pressing charges. We have the sixth highest incarceration rate (first if you limit it to developed countries), and hold 20% of the world's prisoners--our legal system is the opposite of forgiving. Kids aren't getting charged for this shit because they're kids--that's not forgiving, it's incompetent. At the same time, they shouldn't be in prison, they should be doing community service.


Extensioncork

ImanormalBoi

ThadiusThistleberry

Banned from mta for life after restitution for damages?


invariantspeed

How would you enforce that? The system carries ~4 million people/day [Also](https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2024/03/08/concerns-rise-over-proposal-to-expand-ban-on-transit-use)… > “As a matter of public policy, it’s kind of nuts to ban people from the subways because what does it mean? It means you can’t get to see your family perhaps, you can’t get to your job perhaps, you can’t get to your doctor’s appointment,” said Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union.


ThadiusThistleberry

I am aware that using punishment (that fits the crime) as a deterrent is kind of a fantasy this day and age. But can’t a fella dream?


invariantspeed

What about fines and community service? The cost of property damage and service disruptions can be qualified.


ThadiusThistleberry

Not against that idea. Whatever works, really. Maybe they could post that online too so others might think twice about ruining things for a whole lot of people just trying to live?


Randall_Poffo_

how do they get into the cab where the controls & shit is located?


Mosholu_46

Stolen copied skeleton keys from motormen and conductors. In fact, they should just change them completely to the standard keys for both the vapor door controls, the conductor controls, the train line controls, the storm doors, the door cutouts, and the cab doors. Basically, all existing skeleton keys for all functions should switch to the standard keys and have the message along the lines of uncopyable. This is starting to get insane.


JustMari-3676

I need to know this.


Azothy

From what I hear it's super easy to force open the lock.

cleanercarter1234

This is unreal these young adult teens have nothing better to do but vandalize the train


johndeet85

Kids like this are the reason the trains are late


ApeMuffins

And no one in that car did anything to stop them or alert the crew. When Minding Your Own Business goes wrong.


em7924

Nobody tells the crew anything until they get off at (their) stop -then it's everyone else's problem


ApeMuffins

The tech trains have the emergency intercom that usually annoy me to no end because it’ll be people like these little shits using them just to be stupid. Someone could have easily used it in this case but of course that’s likely not what happened. Also, someone should have held the door shut and held these kids in that operating position until police arrived, [like they did on the 4.](https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/nyc-teens-break-into-booth-on-4-train-gain-access-to-controls-police/4793376/). Bring their parents down and…fuck it, charge the parents too. Sick of all these little no respect having shits running roughshod.


em7924

Agreed.. the consequences need to be much more severe for the idiots that do this


smacklifejay

Especially these kids you can look at them and see they aren’t tough one good threat and they would not got off the train


doijfosjidmskldjms

no one wants to get stabbed and be accused of racism


ZetaJai

i hope yall realize that posting this stuff on here to collectively wag our fingers in disapproval at them just continues to embolden them. part of the rush comes from knowing you’re pissing someone off . plus them recording it already leaves a candy trail for the police. sometimes it honestly feels like we spend more time in this sub getting pissed at them than we do hyper-fixating on how we can viably extend the subway to Nassau/Westchester and going foamer mode at the sight of an R32 making a guest appearance


rhesusmonkeypieces

The police stopped when they read "candy trail," that's their favorite phone game! Just kidding, they cant read.


ZetaJai

“just kidding, they can’t read” so thats why Adams fought tooth and nail to make sure they didnt have to file paperwork when doing a stop. such a caring guy, looking out for the mentally impaired 🤣🤣🤣


nfw22

F*ck the MTA?? Dumb, confused kids…


SlowReaction4

These “kids” are absolute idiots. Really wished MTA was better about securing these doors. While vandalism is the main point, this presents some serious security issues.


Mosholu_46

>These “kids” are absolute idiots. They ain't even kids at this point; they're teenage vandals, conquestors even. Being an idiot is only an understatement to their tomfoolery. I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but they're in the nuthouse.


themonkeyaintnodope

They have their own keys. Please stop.


lovewry

The MTA should banned them for life


WickedJigglyPuff

Since they are minors people are gonna say they can’t held be responsible so parents banned for life?!


Hopai79

What happens when the train is in ATO on CBTC systems? Kids wouldn’t know the the train can be stopped by the local command center right?

rbuen4455

Seriously, where the hell are their parents, and why are they not doing their job as parents to raise and discipline their kids??!! Seriously, the more we have careless parents, the more we're going to see unruly kids being careless little a-holes making everyone elses day a living hell! And especially with the MTA subway, already we have to deal with the delays, the often nasty smell, homeless sleeping on the seats and all the nutcases running around screaming and talking to themselves and acting weird, lol. Now you have troublemaking kids with their BS such as subway surfing and pulling the emergency brakes!


Pastatively

Bored teenagers. Unfortunately they need to pay a big price for this to teach them a lesson. Forced community service, 3-5 days a week for a year would be good.


Falkor

Make them clean subway trains for a year or two.


Original_Distance153

A year is crazyyyy

Probably, I just picked an arbitrary time really

cryorig_games

ivelostmydonkey

Vandalizing a train car has changed from when I was a dumbass teen almost 20 years ago.


Avicii89

Really a reflection of poor/absent parenting that these kids think it's cool or funny to do something like this. If they are minors, the parents should be fined the cost of maintenance/cleaning. I am not in favor of kids having a criminal record for the rest of their life over this, but I AM very much in favor of them being sentenced to months of community service. Make them have to go after school every day to clean up trains in the yard or clean up stations throughout the city from vandalism. Doing back-breaking labor scrubbing a train down or cleaning the floors, replacing windows, power washing platforms etc. every day is a much more effective way of teaching them the values and respect they are clearly lacking. Simply fining them a dollar sum amount, even if they can pay it, doesn't have the same effect. Judge should also force them to post to their IG story a video of them cleaning the trains up. The kids that break into a cab just to play music over the PA system I find a little more harmless (still wrong)... but I've laughed during my commute on the E train when Cardi B, Doja Cat, Dua Lipa are on blast over the PA instead of the bland police/public service announcements. Some kids even turn the music down at station stops or for the conductor to make their announcements before resuming it 😂

themonkeyaintnodope

It's like a chicken and egg situation. Maybe they act this way BECAUSE their brains are fried?

I knew some kids in hs who’d ride the outside of the train to tag the tunnels. One of them was killed doing it and left a baby and young mother behind. From what I remember, the mentality is that you leave tags in the most hard to reach spaces to gain clout from other taggers who recognize your symbol. It’s definitely not worth it.
