Hi. Just a little heads up for all you parent's of youngsters having their first lads/girls holiday abroad.

I know we would talk to them about dangers etc....but....I have heard a few alarming stories recently of younguns on Greek Islands getting into trouble.

One lad being hospitalised after having his drink spiked on the first night of his holidays. Phone, cash stolen and the odd thing his designer logos cut off his clothes.

One of my sons mates getting into a fight with a local, arrested then beaten by the police who demanded money to release him.

Another one who was put into a double leg lock and came home with 2 broken legs.

Terrible isn't it? Such a worry

I don't think it's much different to the risks of going on a night out in England I guess it's just the distance that makes it more worrying. Obviously you would hope that police violence wouldn't happen here.

Sounds like a normal Saturday night in most UK cities.

Same things can happen anywhere unfortunately, you've just got to have faith they'll be ok as you've raised them properly and they'll be able to act accordingly.

A friend had his drink spiked at a local club when we first started going out. There was enough of us to look after him.

Sadly, nothing new there. The same stories being told 20 years ago when I went on my first holidays

This isn't a new thing really. Been iffy for years. Back in the early 90s in Kavos is wasn't exactly pleasant. Had to have you head screwed on and be aware of your surroundings

It’s a well known fact that those living small and stunted lives rules by fear like to spread those fears in the hope that their children and even complete strangers will live small inconsequential lives ruled by fear too.

In this way they can feel better about their awful existence by pretending that they’re doing a public service.

Thank you for your wonderful insight into mankind!

Presumably my son's mugging at knifepoint and violent assault on a bus (two separate issues) are a figment of our collective imaginations, and my ongoing concerns for his safety are misplaced?

The violent bus assault resulted in a successful prosecution of the offender (slap on wrist issued) but no thanks to GM Police. We did our own investigation and had to complain to get them to deal with it.

I don't trust the Powers That Be to do the right thing anymore.

If holiday goers maybe showed a little more respect when on holiday

And not go away to get shitfaced every night

British have a really bad reputation across the world for the drinking culture

It’s embarrassing

They don’t seem to know how to have a good night without getting wasted or d up

couple, us we him her.

Have you seen the way Brits act abroad?

Like a bunch of wild animals.

I think the locals are so pissed off with the way people act.

As for getting spiked and mugged etc... Can happen anywhere in the UK.

If my kid's where going abroad I'd be more happy teaching them to act in a respectable and responsible grown up way much less chance of trouble.

And just Because kid's are with parents doesn't mean they will act any better,most parents are just as bad.

It's one of the reasons we try our best to avoid places frequented by Brits abroad.

It is a worry but was the same when we went early 90’s & I don’t know if it will ever change

Just have to hope they keep their wits about them, stay together and don’t drink too much!

Hope he enjoys it though x

It's gone in for years I remember when I was in Ibiza in 2000. Some guy got the absolute shit kicked out of him by the hotel security for d*unkenly knocking over a bin, he was also kicked out of his accommodation for it. 2 days later I got slapped by one for trying to bring a lady back for a evening drink

he would only let me bring her in if she handed her passport or 20,000 pacatas to him. That being said some Brits abroad should be ashamed of themselves

Just shows the locals are no angels either. Especially the ones with a bit of authority.

Though here they are treated with kids gloves by the police, so they get used to getting away with loutush behaviour.
