Update:

[12-year-old boy, who hit the headlines
because his mother chose to fly to Ibiza
for a holiday the day before
he was due in court.

District Judge Joanne Hirst ordered her
to appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court after
her sunshine break,
where she ordered her to pay £1,200 compensation
and go on a parenting course.]



[The boy was given a 12-month referral
order after admitting two counts of violent disorder,
a measure designed to prevent
him committing further crimes.

“Sometimes the state, I’m afraid, has to intervene,”
Mr Parkinson said.

“And the consequence of an intervention like
the 12-year-old is a referral order,
which would then mean that rehabilitation can
take place and we can divert them from
the path of criminality.
“That’s the objective with youngsters,
not to criminalise them, it’s to put them on the right path.

“We have people who are specially trained around
youth work, because it’s important we do make
the right decisions.”]
