YOU have to wonder at the mentality of the youngsters who trashed a playground memorial for an eight-year-old boy.

The two boys and two girls, seemingly with nothing better to do, scaled a 15ft high security fence to vandalise the pirate play ship launched in honour of Taylor Fish, who sadly passed away earlier this year after suffering a brain tumour.

Those who caused the damage will have to repair it, but that is scant consolation right now for Taylor’s family who are still struggling to come to terms with losing a loved one.
