Just think, he had a whole life of crime ahead of him too...

A life of crime or not, who are you to judge his path, [b]because he done wrong once[/b] it does not mean he did not deserve to live. He got in a bit of trouble, don't tell me you've never done wrong, he wasn't a bad kid. He done anything to help anyone. However, we will never know now what life held for Nick. Don't be so small minded.

[b]He did wrong twice[/b], at least.

The first time he got caught and they put that nifty little tag on him. The second time he tried to cut it off, which is illegal. Now he's dead.

There are consequences for everything. Had he done what he was supposed to do he'd still be alive. I'm not saying he deserved to die, I'm just saying stupidity often causes death.

In any case life held nothing for Nick. He's dead because that was his path. If he was meant to be here he would be here.

I'm not sure if you read the comment a few above but it was just an assumption that was made by the papers that he was trying to cut his tag off. Friends, family and his girlfriend who were all there that night have stated this was NOT the case. It was an alcohol fuelled, tragic freak accident, he fell onto the knife and the paramedics advised that the chances of him hitting the main artery that he did were 1 to a million. I know it was Nicks time to go, i'm a big believer in saying that everything happens for a reason, what I do not think is right is that people have come on here saying he deserved it, he was stupid etc etc, horrible, horrible people and when something tragic happens to them or their family, I hope they remember this.

I do not see how the assumption was made by the papers when they are quoting what the local councillor Carolyn Wilson said she had been told.

I do not think it is nice of these people to say he deserved it. They are free to say what they will. But, it was stupid nonetheless. Alcohol can make even the smartest person act stupidly and without common sense.
Why didn't anyone take the knife away from a drunk boy?

Original Message This is horrible.

A TEENAGER stabbed himself to death trying to cut off his electronic tag.

Nick Bowes took a knife to the curfew band so he could stay at a pal's 21st party in Alness, Easter Ross.

But it's thought the 18-year-old slipped, plunging it into his chest and severing a main artery.

Rescuers battled to save the bleeding teenager after partygoers dialled 999.

But the youngster was pronounced dead at the scene in the town's Fulness area.
