12-year-old charged for using indecent language, granted $3K bail
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has charged a 12-year-old boy with indecent language, setting his bail at $3,000.
According to the RVIPF, the boy was arrested on November 22 in the Greenland area after reportedly hurling profanities at police officers.
“During a routine patrol in the Greenland area on November 22, officers encountered a group of young men. Upon seeking information, a 12-year-old individual in the group began to behave in a disorderly manner towards the officers,” police told BVI News. “Despite efforts to de-escalate the situation, the individual continued to engage in inappropriate conduct. As a result, he was arrested and charged with indecent language.”
The RVIPF also reported that another member of the group, a 15-year-old from Greenland, had been arrested earlier on November 6 for unlawful possession of a controlled drug. He was also granted $3,000 bail.
Both juveniles are set to appear before the Magistrate’s Court on January 16, 2025.
Under the Police Act of 2019, using indecent, insulting, or abusive language toward police officers or auxiliary members during the execution of their duties is considered an offence. It carries penalties of up to $5,000 in fines, up to two years of imprisonment, or both.

The next generation of our Country …. my God, how we have failed them on EVERY single level.
Our Country, our community, our families, our faith, our parenting, our ethics, our basic human decency and sense of honour just do not exist anymore..
12 years old, a gangster in the making.as a man, if he had open his mouth to me like that I would have punch every teeth out of his mouth and stomp his behind. To whoever he belongs to if I see your little bastard crawling on the side of the road I will step right over him and keep going.
This country gone to the dogs
His mother is a worthless piece of S. Honestly they need to start sterilizing some of these women and the men that lay down with them.
Wow!!
I am in agreement with that. They need to start sterilizing these women and men.All they are doing is producing children to suffer. The mother of the 12 year old need a good and I mean a good beat down in the middle of Main Street for real. Either she is a crack head or drunk from the ghetto. She seems to not care about the child.
this is a first, add teachers and other public servants to that list.
on the loose , the youths are exposed to the drugs that are now manufactured and coming in from Santo in many disguised ways / and them prostitutes are slipping things in your drinks & food and a whole set of sweet talk to charm you and you will be hooked – so don’t say you wasn’t warned/ look at upper main street it’s a typical example of how those Spaniards operating their CLANDESTINE business
12 years old smh that child DOOMED aint going make it pass 20.
Do we live in a police state?
It starts at home.
He better be glad it was police he talk to like that. If it was a regular person he was getting on like that with no joke he would have probably been found dead somewhere or missing. 12 years old? Naw man. Whoever piece of thrash his mother is she needs to be investigated. If he was in the US, ACS OR CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE WHITE ON RICE ALL OVER THE MOTHER BEHIND. Can you imagine this child at home and in school if he is attending school? Sad to say but nothing is going to come out of this. He is going to continue the behavior until someone lick his behind down. THE MOTHER SHOULD BE CHARGED and made to pay a stiff fine. TODAY THE DISRESPECT TOMORROW HE PULLING OUT GUN ON SOMEBODY.
Upon seeking information about what? So he just started to sweat without cause? If that is the response of youth towards police officers, the question is WHY and HOW CAN IT BE FIXED.
Like i keep saying save the youths
a lot of youths have a passionate hate for law enforcement and law enforcement hardly ever have to interact with the youths.
police don’t even be at the school so why the youths hate them so much?
The same youths idolizing criminals and criminal behavior. the songs them listening to is the same thing.
Come festival and is songs about drugs,sex,gangs and violence. The boys them in gangs from young. the girls them dressing skimpy and chasing boys who behave like criminals or dress like them
you are raising the next generation of criminals and this one will be the majority cuz as a young person you would want to fit in and follow along what everyone is doing and promoting.
The youths need good role models not some man on the radio shouting free west bank or some man running the country saying he dont see no problem with vybz karel or women dressing half naked for festival.
The youths need hobbies and afterschool activities away from the nonsense them exposed to online or locally
You have said it all. The youths need good strong role models and mentors.I strongly agree, not someone hollering on the radio free West Bank and free the drew. All that money that the Government made the stupid mistake of wasting to pay Vybz Kartel could have been utilized by starting a boys and girls club on the Island.
The Territory HAVE FAILED THE YOUTHS in a big way. The ones that is out here upholding the wrongs and calling out for criminals to be free, remember, you all are getting old and the youths is going to turn on every last one of you with the violence. After all y’all taught them.
I back this approach cause alot of these young ones are wayyyy out of control, even from their parents, when the parents start to have to pay fines and bail for them they will start to be active in their kids lives. 12 years old with no respect.
The Territory has failed its Country. Youths have always been a part of this territory,’s population. The change in the behaviour to criminal destructive abd desrespectful coincided with the massove import of the Caricom demographic (updeislun). The change reflects their cultural normalcy. Note that many other demographics were abdcontinues to be imported but the Caricom lot,without exception continues their Native behaviourl,as expected and they are the major imports prevails intended to “build”. These VI destroyed its territory with open eyes. The full to the max prison overwhelmingly is occupied by this demographic. Murder rate in such places highest in the WORLD and they are not at war. Just everyday living.Poverty rampant in their countries where there is an overabundance of Natural resources
The victim
syndrome and self destruct mechanism of former slaves prevails in these BVI.
TRUTH at times can be a hard pill to swallow. The truth as you outlined is evident and glaring.
The choice of these VI to willingly,and routinely sacrifice its nature and innate character the way it has I cannot understand. Pitiful and tragic.
These punks police ant got anything to jumping on people child Ny paying to kill man and talking about it, I hope some of them get charged in a grave
If they are the future, then the whole world phuck
GUESS WHICH CRIMINAL ARTIST THE PREMIER BRINGING IN TO MOTIVATE THE YOUTHS?
Here comes wigo the HYPOCRITE WANNABE JUDGE , always badmouthing everybody except himself , stay on your site and do all your racist NARRATIVES over on your yello site and write and blogging to yourself
I know what the police do to people, it start with lie I must say that 12 years should of had a gun and use it.you people don’t know what the police do people, they love to pick on young people that child had and see enough for police doing people things I believe that police provoke the child to cus. All the police are doing is making young people in to criminal u people who blogging for police hope when is your child u talk the same way two sides to a story and children does lie, for me I believe what my kids tell me. People need to be brave and stand up to police don’t matter what it cost, hope one of those days they go to the wrong person and they gun ready for them, Franklin Dailey style
Well let’s forget the uniform.. if that’s how he’s talking to an adult then clearly something ain’t right.
And if he end up in jail,missing or dead then y’all gone come saying he’s a good boy don’t cause no trouble
Crazy people mehson
Prob the same people that think Andrew fahie can do no wrong
Why are the Police here like army invasion on the first place?
Answer
Because of the mayhem caused by the same nappy head group …BVI was a place where Police was a formality. I was a big woman beforexI knew what they look like now they are here policingvfrom allover the globe andxstill not enough for the infidels now roaming these VI. Hundreds ifcdufferent nationalities are now here bytccinsistently and always abd predictably only OBE demographic are the creatures of human destruction. Andctheir countries are crumbs as a result abd areas in foreign lands wherectheycsettke. Pretending and fantasizing otherwise is idiocy. Look in the mirror at your melanated faces and exorcise your demons!! Building a country/ with the tried and true consistently worst is madness resulting from a need to self destruct. Taking people out of their Country does not take their Country out of them,unless they themselves recognize and choose to do so and even then…you are your DNA.
The yours have changed their minds. Ain’t no turning back. Many will die young in Tortola.
Everybody blaming the mother. What happens to his father? Is he dead or a dead-beat dad?
His mother made the choice to be pregnant and bring a child into the World for a worthless man and without the benefit of marriage.
……Well that is the norm for most but it is more than likely and who know she shout out that she’s a loose one from yonder with this boy child exposed to a life and verbal language to match
her past present and his future .Sadly for the BVI it is the choice of the BVI to build with defective material.
Some of these women need to stop having children by these set of worthless men on the Island.
You all Premier and Steve is bringing a criminal to the Territory to help educate the youths with the nastiness. Wonder if they are going to allow their children to go to the show and watch a bird leg shaky Liza Criminal and a Turkish goat face looking woman.
so many judges but if you vote in this country you are the problem. because you continue to lack the courage to get rid of the politicians that cause this problem by not investing in schools, sports, music and arts for children who don’t come from rich families to have the opportunities needed for a way out and to improve themselves.
