I emergrated 10 years ago from the UK and then hardly any violance.
Its a great shame people are coming over from not only the UK but other countrys as well spoiling this beautiful place.
And like some I am ashamed to be English,not happy unless causing trouble.
Love that sign on back of cars Australia full if only that was true.
If these people are commmiting crimes they should be deported back to thier own country might think twice then.

Joondalup area is defo changing, my boy has also been chased through ocean reef when he was on his bike by some men who wanted his bike... I know its sounds unbelievable but it happened, my two boys had their bikes pinched at mcdonalds, some men (who were tradies) held the door shut so they couldnt get out of macdonalds and the others took their bikes, the police were called by macdonalds. my children wont go to:-

Whitfords on a thursday late night, if they do go they will stay in the centre, they will not catch the bus home because alot of youths hang out looking for a fight.

McDonalds at currambine on a friday night, they have now put security on the doors.

They will go the grand cinemas on a friday night but come straight home because these gangs hang around outside. Just looking for fights.

Joondalup train station is a no go aswell, they know children from school who have been mugged there. These gangs hang out at the train station so they have got security there aswell.

I love Australia and my life here and my children are not wimps but its called been wise and staying away from trouble. The high school has changed my older boy is in Year 11 and my youngest year 8 but the older one says its getting worse, even the teachers have commented it. My older son said he was ashamed to be english the other day because most of (not all) the gangs are english. This weekend has left me with lots to think about, to be totally honest I didnt come to Australia so my kids cant go places or not feel safe, I know life is not perfect anywhere but as parents we have to make the best decisions to keep our children safe....

As i have been typing this It just makes my tummy turn ...its sounds so horrible and I know we dont like to hear it but its happening. I am left feeling confused/shocked/trouble..... thanks lots.
Why move to Perth, theres so many Brits there its just like the UK, where l live in country Victoria nothing like that happens.

10 years ago it wasn't so bad.
And Perth is a beautiful place just a shame people are out to spoil it.
I think there should be a clause in the visa system if caught causing trouble numourous times they should be deported.
If its kids then the whole family should be made to leave then maybe they will think twice where thier kids are.

Hope your boys are OK.
Did'nt know there are any Aussies in Perth to Welcome you, l thought its only Brits and South aficans that live there, all the Aussies live in the eastern states.

This savage crime is everywhere. I read about similar in Canada the other day when some psychotics beat a moose to death with sticks. Also some kids in England stamped a fawn to death - a fawn FFS - nature's cutest animal. The fact is the West is just falling apart. They could stop these things from being so frequent overnight but the political will simply isn't there.

The same for the incident with the guys in the car, what did the police say to that?
If they are doing it in similier areas then it shouldnt be to hard for the police to find them...
Yes the police were involved at macdonalds and we did get the bikes back, one of the staff there recognised one of the guys , I have to say the police were on the ball and fantastic.... with the mugging, I believe the police have had a few people report to them over the weekend. They have now got their vehicle reg no so hopefully they will sort it out..
