Party boy could make $10,000 from teen riot

[2020hindsight]

definitely has its funny side watching that interview haha. And he is milking it while he can.
Wait till he does meet his parents. He'll be confined to home/work/school until he's 18 lol.

Interviewer:- "and young man - take your glasses off !! and then tell us what steps you intend to take when your parents come home"

"bludy big ones - into the desert" lol

-"bludy big ones - into the desert" lol

haha gold

hes 16, he can legally work full time and opt out of school no?

Maybe he'll just take a job offer and move out!

an example of hamming it up / milking the opportunity to establish his reputation
paraphrased in this instance - but he wasn't far short of saying that lol

PS, barnz, be interesting to see what fines he finally has to pay - and then rewatch that interview - as docj says , I wonder if it depends on how he invited people ??

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

Who needs parents when you get 10k a year? :

And when he finally runs out of money (or can't have anymore fun), they'll take him back straightaway.

The return of the partying son ?

I have mixed feelings about this.

On the one hand, I think Corey will go far as an entrepreneur.

But on the other hand, I think he was lucky. There was a party like that locally a year or so ago, and it got out of hand with one young teenager throwing a punch that connected and killed another teenager (he fell and his head hit the concrete). Lives were destroyed in a moment. Corey was lucky.

The ACA interview was pure farce.

On this one I am really divided. Yes, Corey is an absolute twit, immature, and doesnt understand yet, that he is part of the big wide world. Tunnel vision to the extreme. And I see a lot of 16 year olds behaving in exactly the same way. They just dont get it at that age. They dont get anything other than their own small world. He posted the party on myspace - or facebook - cant remember which. Big mistake. But texting on mobiles can achieve the same result.

Kids gravitate to parties. It is summer, they have nothing else to do, so they congregate. It is what they do for entertainment at that age. There are no venues for them to go to because they are under 18, so houses are their only option. Kids are different these days - probably our fault as parents but there you go.

So the police are called in and it spreads to the streets. Very scary for the locals. And damage happens.

But there is no way either he, or his parents should be asked to pay for the Police presence. We pay taxes for police presence - do we also have a user pay system for them too? Heaven help any of us who might do something stupid and need the Police for help - do we then get slugged with the bill?

For what its worth, we should blame the media fair and square for this one - they have driven this story from Day 1. And yes, Hang Seng, I see you shaking your head at this, but this kid is young and stupid - others are older and should be wiser. And Corey hasnt been snorting cocaine.

Re the Current Affairs story - while as I said, the guy is a total moron, I thought his response to the goading of the interviewer was fantastic - he did say sorry and she kept pushing him for more. So while I would hate to have to parent him, I thought his responses in that area were pretty cool.

Having just been refused the purchase of alcohol from Dan Murphys because my almost 18 year old son (in 2 days time) was with me, I know the liquor laws backwards. (In SA, people under 18 years are allowed in bottle shops etc) Corey charged $2 entry, so he has actually broken the liquor licensing laws!


Hey Mouse, we posted at the same time - great minds and all that!

MELBOURNE PARTY BOY ARRESTED BY POLICE


Victoria Police have arrested 16-year-old Corey Delaney, who hit the headlines after throwing a wild party last weekend.
The police dog squad and helicopter had to be called to the Melbourne suburb of Narre Warren when the party, which was held at Mr Delaney's parents' house and attended by about 500 people, got out of control.
Mr Delaney was arrested this morning after he refused to be taken in for questioning.
Police will decide whether or not to lay charges after the interview.
Police have threatened to make him repay the cost of the police response to the party, estimated at $20,000, including the use of the helicopter.
Victorian Premier John Brumby says he should make a public apology.
"What happened is unacceptable and you know, he's had his moment in the limelight and he now needs to get his feet back on mother earth I think," he said.

This caught my eye -

Mr Delaney

Mr child?

VOTE 1 COREY !!!!!! :alcohol:

Seeing that Corey has now dug such a deep hole for himself, excluding immaturity and all else maybe in the end all this kid really has achieved for all and sundry is show mental illness and it's effects. Had he stayed and faced the music or had he after all was done and said, faced the fact that he really did mess up, after all being 16 means that not much thought goes into actions that may not turn out as he'd hoped, one could think, well he is stupid and immature, but now he has run away from home and got himself arrested.

Not sure but Britney Spears springs to mind, and althought you can say she's white trash and acting like it, at the end of the day, too many of her actions, aren't making sense, and it's not as if she's milking the situation to suit herself. She's simply behaving deranged, if not for her millions she'd probably just be locked up until whatever episode she's experiencing sorted itself out. At least now that Corey has been arrested he'll too get whatever help he needs, failing a real mental illness, hopefully now that he has been arrested he'll be able to simply calm down and accept some responsability hopefully without that maniacal smirk.

Hi visual,

Stupidity, being a teenager is not a mental illness. Sorry, but you make it sound like people with mental illnesses should be locked up. As a person with a mental illness (agoraphobia/depression) I find your post to be offensive and ill informed.

cheers

Mouse,

I sincerely apologise if I offended you, however what I am saying is not that people who suffer mental illness should be locked up, but there is a provision I believe to force people into hospital if they are too sick to actually see for themselves that they need that type of help.

Corey has behaved stupidly and immaturely but now he has got himself into a much bigger hole by behaving even more erratically, surely if he wasn't affected in some way he could've been stupid from home? that is what I'm saying.

 

[Prospector]

I think there will be problems with this going to court. Juveniles charged with crimes are not allowed to be named. Oops! And other than the Liquor Licensing issue, I dont see what crimes either he, and certainly his parents, can be charged with.

 

[Mouse]

Apology accepted visual,

Corey is a kid, he did the wrong thing and the media has blown it up out of proportion. Having seen inside a mental hospital I would never suggest putting anyone in there except as a last resort, and only then if they were incapable of looking after themselves or a danger to themselves or the public. People assume that you go into one of those places and come out cured ... but you just come out determined never to end up in a place like that again. I saw one guy taken away and shut in a room by himself for 3 days simply because he was happy and singing after midnight. They are horrid places.

cheers

I,m not so sure . I think he has all the ingredients to be a future listing in the Darwin Awards.

Visual,

I really can't see the connection between a teenager being pretty silly, plus then getting carried away with himself even further as a result of excessive media attention, and any mental illness. Actually, during the ACA interview, although I thought "thank god he's not my kid", I thought he was pretty straightforward and sane.

Probably by now he might be wishing he'd been somewhat more remorseful. Doubt he pictured himself as being arrested, though who knows, it might add even more to his celebrity status!

Agreed 100%...

the media need to take a good hard look at themselves... one needs to remember, if they don't sensationalise is, they are out of a job!

the world would be a lot better place if the tabloid media were banned, and people like cory, and britney spears, paris hilton and the like would be able to sort out their own lives in their own time...

Heck, a 16yr old had chucked a party and is rebellious and doesn't think its his fault... hmmm, let me see.... what exactly is the earth-shattering news event here???

Julia,
to me he comes across as someone who hasn't made a connection to what the reality is. As I said if it turns out that he is just a stupid kid with no manners and respect not just for himself or anyone else, then sure treat him as someone with the full faculties in order but I was reading another of those Spears stories just before this and now she's walking out of a dressing room naked, I suppose I just added 2 and 2 togheter and came up with 5.

At any rate all his supporters should at least be given a sanity test, seems they would have to be crazy to support this moron. All right that's tongue in cheek.

And that, unfortunately, is common amongst the 16 year olds who have grown up in the arena of myspace and facebook. Not mental illness at all but a product of the environment, and he is just one of many. He is naive, a social moron, he is 16 and also, completely sane. I have seen many, many like him! And a couple of them in Adelaide have just been accepted into a Law at an Adelaide University. Go figure!
