Little Red Riding Hoodie Caught Up In Salford Riot On Way To Visit Granny (Video)

by | 17th, August 2011

A 13-YEAR-OLD boy shopped by his mother for rioting in Salford Precinct is a good lad. She’s not proud of him – but it’s not his fault. He’s nursing a nine month referral order for burglary and violent disorder. The Telegraph says:

She is on benefits, does not live with the boy’s father and has 10 other children, the court heard. But the woman also suggested her son was not entirely at fault, when asked who she blamed for the looting. ‘The government,” she replied, her son by her side, adding: ”There is f*** all for them to do.”

Go on:

The boy had been caught on CCTV during the trouble at Salford Precinct spraying a fire extinguisher around before pulling down metal shutters from a Cash Converters shop. He then crawled inside and used a £100 golf club he had stolen to smash windows. The shop suffered £20,000 in damage.

His mother described him as a ”good lad” who had never been in any trouble before and had gone out to visit his grandmother when he got caught up in the violence.
