Parents Face Court After Kids Vandalize Church; Two Girls Spent 7 Hours Ruining Inside of Church

The parents of two girls -- who smashed up the inside of a church in a spree of violence because they were bored -- are to face criminal charges in behalf of their children, the Austrian Times website reports today (June 8, 2012).

The two girls -- aged 10 and 11 -- had gone on the rampage in the church, smashing up candles and vases, ripping up the flowers which were scattered over the church, and throwing holy water onto the floor. They also ripped things off the wall and then fled -- but were later called by local police.

The pair had been inside the Koglhof Church in Weiz, Austria from nine o'clock in the morning until four in the afternoon, carrying out their vandalism.

The two girls admitted what they had done.
