The sentencing of a 12 year old boy who admitted taking part in two incidents of violent disorder in Manchester has been adjourned because his mother had gone on holiday in Ibiza the previous day

And now we have a report that a gang of 5 children in Leicester, 2 x 14 years, 3 x 12 years, attacked and killed an 80 year old man out walking his dog. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1l5y5nge31o

I wonder if there parents will appear for the trial?

Poor kid? He's a terrorist!

The vicious thug, violent, aggressive, self-obsessed is 12, he's at an age where he knew exactly what he was doing so I want to know why he can't be named, shamed, have his evil twisted mug splattered publically!

He and his equally vile mother are the same!

My query would be who is looking after a 12 year old while mum is away? Thats if he wasn't remanded of course, if so she probably thinks he is someones elses concern.

His uncle accompanied him to court, so he is presumably living with other family members while his mother is away.

What says more about his parents, whether together or separated, and I assume he has an absent father, than anything is that clearly it occurred to neither of them that it shines a very poor light on them that neither considered it necessary for them to be present in court yesterday, and that sending any spare relative - in this case the uncle, was sufficient.

I feel so sad for this child.
Unfortunately, I have come across parents like that in my teaching career, their children were nothing but an inconvience for them,🤬

It tells you all you need to know really. Far too prevalent these days. The Government need to hold parents and guardians to blame where their children are causing problems and committing crime.

She should be held to account, have her back off holiday and take responsibility, at her expense too. . No father about, where is he?. These poor children have no parents that love and care for them. Hit the parents where it hurts. To get benefits you should name the father and he should contribute the same. What's more important in life than bringing your children up.

Children become feral because the parents neglect them. They learn from parental behaviour.

I cannot conceive how a mother could go on holiday at such a time, she obviously didn’t think it important enough to let it impinge on her fun time!

She is as culpable as the child.

The usual question: where is the father?

Poor kid.

Explains a lot!

Disgusting

Appalling behaviour of a parent.

OK
