Family beaten as YouTube party descends into chaos

LONDON (Reuters) - A teen-ager was airlifted to hospital and his father had his nose broken when gatecrashers went on the rampage at a 16th birthday party after details were posted on YouTube, police and media reports said Friday.

More than 100 uninvited teenagers descended on the family house, stole whisky and champagne, smashed windows and started fighting, according to reports.

Engineer David Worthy, 53, was punched in the face when he tried to turn away a group of youths, while his son Stephen, 18, was badly beaten.

A spokesman for Wiltshire Police in western England said an air ambulance took the teen-ager to hospital in Bath with suspected spinal injuries.

His mother Susan Worthy, 52, a nurse, said they feared for their lives as the youths attacked the outside of the house.

"We were scared stiff," she was reported as saying in the Times newspaper. "There was a loud bang and the windows smashed. I thought they were going to kill us."

Her husband said: "One was swearing right in my face so I pushed him away and then all hell let loose."

The party for their son Christopher was supposed to be a small event with about 30 invited guests. However, details were posted on the Internet, attracting dozens more teenagers.

The parents had taken their youngest son Richard, 14, for a pub meal last Saturday and planned to return home to watch a video upstairs while the revelers celebrated below.

After the gatecrashers arrived at their detached house in Chippenham, Wiltshire, they received a phone call from Stephen asking them to come home. His father was attacked when he asked the gatecrashers to leave.

"It's all a bit of a blur," he said. "I have had to take several days off work with my broken nose and two black eyes."

His son Stephen was discharged from hospital the next day.

Wiltshire Police arrested six teenagers aged between 15 and 18. Four were held on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm, while two others were detained for public order offences. They were all bailed.

Crazy story. Not sure how the law works out in England in terms of juveniles. If this happened in the US, the kids would get some community service that they probably wouldn't even have to do. There really aren't any laws on kids here.

damn
fucking insane

Kids these days are crazy.

some people just aren't right! that story is nuts..

Yup and I don't think it's going to get any better.

cant wait to see the youtube video :thumbsup

lol I was asking myself same thing.. where's the video as I scrolled down the page hehehe

Only in Europe

thats why you get a gun and start blasting into the crowd. guaranteed to disperse a crowd quickly.

how horrible. :( wtf is wrong with some people?

The problem over here in the UK is there is no discipline any more and the youths know that they get away with it, I have seen teenagers telling the police to fuck off over here, They should bring back national service and send these thugs to a hard labour camp, Its all the do-gooders over here that have caused this..Our teens are out of control:2 cents:

Even if the details were posted on Youtube, why would teenagers crash and beat up people they don't even know. I'm sure it isn't the first time private party details have been posted. I wonder exactly what was posted and how the situation went down. It just makes very little sense unless the teens were just extremely bad and brash.

Like somebody else said, if the homeowner had a firearm, everything could have been avoided. Pull out the shotgun, blast it into the crowd, and tell them to get off your property.

So fucked up

Are they going to post it on Youtube?

Wow If you done that over here in the Uk you would be the one up in court

Messed up indeed

Wow alot of you people are seriously idiots.

"youth these days" *shakes fist.

guess what party crashing has gone on since the beginning of time, cavemen used to crash other caves and steal furs and seal blubber when grunt got out.

guess what you deserve to have your party crashed if you are stupid enough to massively send out an invitation that can be accessed by anyone.

wow thats a crazy story!

Well, with influences like this, see "Is this wrong?" post, you can expect for juveniles to be less then well mannered citizens. ;)

I really don't understand what is wrong with the youths nowadays. Atleast in my day we had a little respect for other's property.

'youth' has always been seen to be worse than the generation before

yeah man..thats the ticket..shoot a bunch of kids with your shotgun:thumbsup

You wouldn't have to. Once they see that shotgun, they'd leave quickly.

did you read about the 18 year old kid having possible spinal injuries? they fucking beat him bad, they deserve to have a shotgun put to their face and the trigger pulled...

thats some fuckd up shiiet

thats right man...you should go do that

go out and shoot some kid in the face with a shotgun

its the perfect plan

What the hell is wrong with kids in london?

I would have shot all those little fuckers

They weren't in London.

man how long did it take the cops to show up?

let me guess, a bunch of punks bash a birthday party you and you're family are having, and start to beat the living shit out of your kid to the point of severe spinal damage, and you would just stand there and watch?

lol you make it sound like they were children.

There was 6 of them between the ages of 15 and 18.

In self defense of myself and my family, I'd definitely bullet any one of them.

id never have let 30 punks show up at my house

and if i needed help..me and my neighbours could tear through a bunch of 15 yr old retards like they were paperwieghts

there is always a better option then shooting a gun at a kid

but you are right i could just have easily shot them all then sat in jail for 10 years

they were hooligans

they didnt beat the women? just the men
if it was a case where they were kicking the fuck out of my wife

i could then see the point of maybe shooting the gun in the air.


but as i just said..if 30 retard kids showed up at my house to trash it..id grab 4 of my neighbours and you'd see 30 retard kids flying through the air

not too mention...cops around here are close by...i have a tim hortons near my house..that guarantees i have a cop show at my place in under one minute

You wouldn't shoot it at the kids. You'd fire it up in the air. It would catch there attention, trust me. You just want to frighten them so they'll leave. There are 18 year old's that can kick men's asses. If they felt they would/could get their asses kicked they wouldn't have done what they did.

Damn, that's fucked up!!

you guys are right
id whip out my oozie and shoot them all

then i could blame it on pop music
anyway....im off to do some work:)

have fun..was just messing with you guys

I bet 88 dollars that the "crowd" constits oft 99% monk.. erm.... black peoples

The only parties I crashed when I was a teen were actual parties (teens or older crowds), not some child's birthday party. By "crashing", my buddies and I would simply show up uninvited, befriend people there, and have a good time. There was no violence.
