The biggest issue here, is something most young men deal with in the UK, including myself, that all social events revolve around alcohol for men our age. I dont think John is an alcoholic, but he either has to completely separate himself from all his friends, or just meet them in the pub, at a house party. Like his mates aren't going to go for a walk with him in the park, or get a coffee. Its a big issue for young men

He should get sent to prison just for that haircut 😂😂😂

I feel sorry for his mum and the mother of his kid. He should be putting 100% emphasis on looking after and providing for his kid

He won’t change while he’s surrounded by enablers.

I'm not saying it's not this guy's fault he caved, but his friends should've been good mates and not let him drink.

His still young and people change. Wishing him all the best.

First and foremost he has to do it for himself. I wish him all the best.

4:50 not only would he rather spend £500 on trainers than putting a roof over his own kids head. The UK is far too soft on these scumbags. Lock him up, or take his dole away.

Has John been considered for an ADHD screening? Impulsivity, substance abuse. Getting diagnosed and then medicated could change his life.

The hair, the "bling", the attitude. What a knacker!.

Mum deffo bought him new clothes and trainers for this

He's not a bad lad at all he's just young and immature ! He'll grow up one day hopefully out of prison! Most young lads need a good strong dad role model in their life..

Lad needs new mates.

Britain’s full of these drains

The tag didn’t alert that he drank bc he got high on something else and played it off like he drank to the tv crew & his family. There is zero chance the tag missed him drinking alcohol.

Addiction is often partly a learned behaviour in my opinion. My great grandfather grandfather and father were alcoholics. I saw the havoc it created generation after generation. I have never drank alcohol. I do not judge those who do but it is not for me. We all make choices in our lives and must live with the consequences. I wish this lovely young family all the best from Canada.

He seems like a decent fella. He is only 21 and so is still young. He will be alright as he gets older! 🙏👍

sorry but the way he's complaining about the police making a mess of his dad's house and breaking things. your dad was arrested for attempted burglary and you're more concerned about your dad's house and not the fact that your dad left other people's houses in a complete mess and may have broken the victim's property.

What a catch😂

Get it together 💪 by the grace of God mercy be blessed 🙏🏾

Hes an addict and I don’t think he can live a sober life without working a sobriety program and perhaps some therapy. It has to start with him. Addicts have to do it for themselves & not for their loved ones.

Why doesn’t he just buy replica 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️ lives in a bin but has £500 shoes,

Yo ya Mrs is fire kid. Ya still young trust me brotha, I've bin similar situation as ya... I wish ida learnt ma lesson sooner!

She won’t get it until she understands that addiction is caused by trauma

I feel for this guy as a wearer of an alcohol tag myself. I turned to alcohol after the discrimination and rejection I faced after being diagnosed with aspergers syndrome and being tagged like this guy felt like a wake up call.

You can drink alcohol and have alcohol in the house but you must balance between family needs and your own wasted needs 😅😂🤣

pulls his sock up between his leg and tag and walks in for a double brandy and coke 😂

Designer clothes, shoes, bags, that poor girl her mother and the baby haven't got a hope in hell. Total waste of space.

Bro just wrap it in cling film and get on it 😂

Was on tag 18 months while on bail didn't even know there was alcohol tag loool

Alcohol Tag 🤔🧐

No hope for any of them.

He needs prison for that haircut alone

I wish I'd been given one of those ten years ago!

He should be on tag for that haircut alone

Getting mine fitted in a hour.. can you put plastic between the device and your leg so it doesnt read?

The problem is nobody grows up anymore. Just look around you at allof the grown men dressed like children and with ridiculous haircuts, tattoos and piercings . What chance have their kids got?? Not to mention all the money they waste on drugs!!

To be old and wise you have to be young and stupid first. This chap is not a bad person but he has a lot of learning to do. It's unfortunate how something drastic has to happen for people in general to understand the lessons and I fear this will be the only route for him to see. Its sad but it's clear what will happen. If he doesn't get a hold of the reins of his life quickly this IS what will happen. His partner will get fed up and in fear of his actions rubbing off on their child she will leave him. He will turn to drink and drugs to suppress his loss. This will lead him on a further downward spiral and I see him getting into further trouble with the law. But with these lessons comes growth and spiritual awakening. This is not set in stone and he has the opportunity to grow without the need of the drastic event to occur to trigger the growth. Either way he will grow but it's up to him to choose the method of his journey.

Top mullet lad

He needs his dad's guidance which he doesn't have but his son also needs his guidance which his son doesn't have so he following his own dad's footsteps, he has alot of growing up to do and to stop being soo selfish and acutelly focus on what means most to him in life before he turns an alcoholic or worse banged up. This isn't fair on his gf or son it's very selfish behaviour.

Gets me mad the mess they leave it in 😂 what a melt, your dads a thief

The apple never falls far from the tree

I need one

I'm gonna go with a strong no.

What area is this

The future doesn't look bright at all

They do this here in the states & I’ve seen people beat these things by squeezing a piece of thick plastic bag in between the skin & the box on your leg & they leave it on for a few days after drinking so that way the courts can’t tell you’ve been drinking . I’ve even seen people cut these things off by bypassing the wire that’s inside of the strap by carefully cutting the plastic off exposing the wires inside just to reconnect them with another wire with alligator clips before cutting the main wires so you can slip it off your leg , this makes it so there’s always a connection in the signal to the wires . I’ve seen it done no joke . It’s crazy to see how people can beat the system .

Anyone else think that was his son at ? 😂 1:54

Did the tag prohibit him entering the barbers?

21 years old? Wow so young and he’s wasting his prime youth on a useless substance 🤦🏾‍♂️. Hopefully he will straighten his life out and become the best man and father he can be for his son Edit: btw those are some nice creps haha 11:15

this guys a drippy don

Right manly dog and handbag,

i just don't get it. why don't people fear jail?

They are not mates unless they got his back a real mate will check this lad .

I was in same position. I almost lost the chance of seeing my little girl. Then I realised what’s more important. He will do the same. He’s young and he will learn

I was on that for 80 days

Alcohol tax is a bit for draconian

The absolute state of this guy 😂 Wtf is he wearing? And that haircut.

How can someone that clearly not in work living in Rhly and living with his mummy still with a child still afford gold chains top brand clothing and shoes and bags etc. It blows my mind !! Or a sun bed 😂

Goes back to bad parenting and education, lack of or no interest. Your effort equals your journey in life

There rollin out these stupid tags yet alcohol is allowed to be purchased in abundance in every UK shop

He needs to stop the coke never mind the drink

He’s sniffed up 8:00 in 💯

Unfortunately he is never going to change. His mum seems like a lovely woman but she basically is letting him get away with it. He goes out drinking and she says ‘I’m absolutely fuming.’ She needs to kick him out her flat, force him to sort himself out and put his money into actually getting something sorted for his gf and kid. His gf needs to do the same. ‘He’s working on his dad skills,’ pathetic. Again she should have nothing to do with him until he’s sorting out his own place. His dad is also clearly a bad influence. I truly believe a solution to cases like this would be to ban him from going within say 5 miles of Rhyl. Keep him away from all the bad influences and enablers in his life. Dump him somewhere new, makes him start from scratch.

Some people make terrible life choices when drunk, and personally think it mostly comes down to poor mental health, Alcohol tags seems to be working well.

Take up fishing.

He had 5 days left before off tag and drank 😕

"alcohol and drugs" sick of this fuckin phrase

His Mrs is quite fit

Seems like drinks not the only problem the kids got. Them drugs are just as bad. Takes a lot to change from that life style, kids doesn’t make you change. Need to do it for your self.

speaking as an ex alcoholic, when he was on his way to the pub to meet his friends... and he says, oh ye its a bit of a risk, naaa mate, its no risk, if you want to drink you drink, if you realise whats at stake then you dont drink, its simple... only 1 person is in control of what happens... also looking at him as a father, dipping into the rent to pay 500 quid on trainers, whats wrong with 50 quid on asics, or new balance... guys tryin to live a lifestyle like hes a millionaire and hes not. hes a waste, but oh wait, the bbc keep doing documentaries on these type of people, his gf should put their child first, or is she a typical waste too.

Welcome to rhyl

Tag 🤔🙄 This is new to me, and it seems bit harsh seeing that tool. I am sure he will, but maybe not yet. He is too young and all the pressure around him is not really helping IMO.

Lets not fluff about, he's pathetic. A grown man, has a child and he behaves like this. He needs people coming down hard on him not all fluffy clouds and "Compassion"

Is that Sophie Aspin

Don't commit crimes Don't get tagged simple

Wearing sneakers indoors?

Alcohol tag should defo not be a thing especially not for a 21 yr old

This whole doc Is like this grown ass man can't control himself pethatic

If your mate are getting you a few shot then my friend they are not your mates

The police want to watch him, he's got 500 quid burberry trainers on what does Jon for a job am on a hoof wedge but I cannot afford them trainers. Bag could be fake most likely but them treds ain't

I think he took more than drink on his night out. Also, is all the clobber real? Where’s he getting the money for it? Not your average brands he’s sporting.

You don't need achool in your life 😢. Stay with tea

You’d think slipping a bit of polythene between the tag and your skin would stop the tag detecting alcohol?🤔

Filming a drug dealer who can’t take care of his family cuz his a imature boy himself come on man he loved every minute of his camera time no care in world

Jail him for they chav training shoes ffs

Bit of a risk couple days before it's due to come off soooo lucky

Hopeless case. 🤦

How does he afford all the designer gear?

He's very good-looking 😊

Im not from uk but why does the girl say 3 month ago isnt it 3 months ago

Covered head to toe in designer clothing whilst “struggling” to pay the rent…glad to know my taxes pay for people like this.

What’s lads last name. Looks familiar

I can barely understand a word he says.

Those alcohol tags obvious don’t work do they, bit like the Covid tests 😂

Sorry but I don't understand why people stick up for him. He's down right pathetic.

I'd give up ale for his Mrs 😉

He’s got ADHD

How the hell does he get a bird like that.

I'm wondering why he still lives with his mother? He needs to get out on his own especially since he has his own family. Stop drinking and stop spending lots of money on sneakers and haircuts.
