Bullshit. No way a 12 year old girl beat up a burglar. The guy just legged it to avoid being seen!

Could someone please tell me what all this security word bollocks is?

12 years old is perfectly old enough to spend a day at home by yourself. There's some right tossers on who comment on argus stories.

On the argus comments section to submit your comment you have to complete a security word thing (to stop automoated spammers, I guess) where an image gives you two words and you have to type them out. They are two four letter words. Every once in a blue moon those words will be appropriate to the story. People commenting when that happens has led to a trend on there for people making up their security words a lot more frequently, often to try to insult another person commenting, or someone in the story (and usually ignoring the 2x four letter word format).

'Beat up' is misleading. The story says she kicked him in the groin (she didn't want him to think she was helpless) and he ran.
