1. both the kids (girls/boys) are under-age. There are laws which prohibit selling or giving alcohol or tobacco to under-age kids. How did these kids end up having alcohol?
2. The two kids attended a birthday party. What were the parents or the guardians of the person who hosted the party doing when under-age kids were consuming alcohol?
3. The party happened at a hotel. The hotel should be responsible for serving alochol to under-age persons at an event in their premises.
4. The police say, the took the kids into custody to “protect the kids from the rapists in the vicinity”. If they know there are rapists in the vicinity, what were they doing letting them roam around in the streets?

There have been serious breaking of law by many stakeholders in this case which is of a concern. Leaving all that alone, we are discussing about if the article was fit for print or not?

I don’t think it deserved to make the news, but underage kids under the influence of alcohol hanging around in a dangerous area seems to warrant police intervention.

The Daily Mirror can go die in a fire, though.
