The YS Department is relatively new, with an emerging set of problems to tackle. One of the key challenges is the small proportion of youth offenders who commit a disproportionately large number of offences. The YJ Act has been amended leading to more appropriate bail restrictions for repeat young offenders. YJ coordinates and works closely with other related organisations including the Queensland Police Service (QPS) and volunteer groups, seeking to minimise the risk of initial and repeat offending behaviour from young people. There is no simple solution, tackling youth crime represents a complex challenge, and the victims deserve a solution. A warning has been put out regarding a particularly nasty scam: the National Anti-Scam Centre (NASC), scam. Scammers appear to call from a legitimate number, advising the intended victim that their number is being used in a scam in China; first trust is built up before there is an offer to help. The other and more obvious frauds continue to proliferate including online bargains, cashing in on loyalty points, misplaced parcels, ATO requests (I received one on Friday), etc. As always, do not give money or personal or financial information and do not click on any links. If in doubt, hang up, delete and if you need support, contact IDCARE on 1800 595 160. Please be careful, Australia is a preferred target and many of us are vulnerable, spread the word to be vigilant! We also received messages from the vital services that keep our community safe. QPS stress two important messages: ‘No,’ to domestic violence - perpetrators will always be held accountable, please report on suspicious activity, the help lines are: 1800RESPECT (1800 737 7320) and DVConnect: 1800 811 811 (Womersline). ‘Yes,’ to keeping your possessions safe: remember to Lock it of Lose it! The Firees hosted a splendid event at John Siganto Park on July 28th and shared the important warning that spring and summer are likely to be dangerous seasons given the profusion of fuel in our area. Dry grass may not have been seen as a potential danger in the past but given the unusual weather patterns, it now represents a serious threat; the problem being that many homes are at risk if tall grass is not removed, please bring out the lawn mower and cut the grass back. In response to the request for more informal gatherings, the Meeting Place (address below) is hosting coffee mornings on Saturday mornings. The celebrated world-class barista Scott is in action with sandwiches and snacks also available. Catch up on more of the NHW gossip if you are free. Our next NHW event will be on the 12th of November 2024 with a 7.00 pm start, location at the Meeting Place (aka the Oxenford and Coomera Community Youth Centre), 25 Leo Graham Way, Oxenford QLD. Following on from the considerable interest expressed in the Youth Justice presentation at our last meeting, we will provide a follow-up discussion in November. You will also hear from our local community leaders including our Councillor, our community Police Officer, and our State Member for Parliament. Given the popularity of the raffle supported by light refreshment, we will continue with this tradition. You are assured of a stimulating evening, and we look forward to welcoming you.
