Had to read the opening paragraph twice as I thought it may be the effects of the rather nice wine i've had tonight.......but, eh?

It does question the way that the justice system there works a bit!

One of the judges at the court in the city's ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim neighbourhood had reportedly asked local children to carry out the sentence.

😕 Asked local children to carry out the sentence ? ......I find that very hard to believe.

EDIT : OK apparently : [i]"They didn't issue an official ruling, but ordered the children outside to throw stones at him in order to drive him away"[/i]

It seems to me that perhaps this story isn't quite as it appears to be in the BBC link. I wouldn't be surprise if it wasn't a case of someone just asking the local kids "if you see that stray dog, just shoo it away by throwing things at it". I also find it peculiar that the dog "escaped".
