Yes 12 year old
arrested.

Not good

[Brother Leon]

Examples need to be made of all these racist online trolls. I don’t care if the kid is 12.

[hijaxers]

Absolutley shocking behaviour from a 12 yr old ,what kind of parents does he have , this family need looking at big time by social services.

[Niamh.]

Are you even legally allowed have a Twitter account at 12? His parents clearly weren't monitoring his online activity

[LeatherTrumpet]

They should have focused on his sh1t form and the fact he never turns up. Awful overrated pl ayer

Really don’t understand how you’re still on this website, the most blatant troll since thetruth

[Mitchell]

Absolutely vile

[Cherie]

Horrible, but let’s keep it in perspective, it’s a 12 year old, so maybe let’s wait and see what the story is before we hang him out to dry

A few days ago you were fine with a 13 year old being grabbed by police cuz he matched a vague description. Your attitude then was - but he matched the description so.... - but this is different eh?

[GiRTh]

On topic - He sent the message and they caught him. Good work by the boys in blue.

[Toy Soldier]

If he's 12 it didn't come from nowhere, and he had absolutely no idea what he was doing. Hopefully the shock will be enough, at most I'd suggest him being made to work with a charity to raise his awareness.

Let's not start asking for 12 year olds to be harshly punished for non-violent crimes though .

There isn't a "but", trying to attribute adult thought processes and motivations to any 12 year old is utter madness.

[GiRTh]

OF course and of all minors.

Niamh the fact that kids are watching porn , and god knows what else are you really that surprised that a 12 year old has a twitter account ?? .

kids easily lie about their age on platforms they either shouldn't be on or where they have to be older .

But yeah 12 or not this kind of behaviour is vile .

Arresting a 12 year old though?

You could educate the child into understanding how it is wrong to be racist rather than giving them the same punishment as an adult being racist.

[Ammi]

...really saddening that a 12 yr old child would hold such a prejudice mindset as to express it online in such a hateful way......really horrendous for Wilfried Zaha to be the person the prejudice is aimed at, I wonder what his thoughts are in finding out it was a child as well.../...the whole thing is all just so wrong...

I wasn’t ‘fine’ with it at all ...I just wasn’t having a hysterical reaction, same here

Btw I don’t have an issue with him being arrested, however in the pervious case, you thought the police were heavy handed, even though someone was stabbed, now an arrest is perfectly fine? I will wait for the full story before. I fully judge him, he could have special needs or be easily influenced by others or he could be a horrible twat from a horrible family we don’t know enough yet

Have you considered they may have arrested the wrong family member Girth?

[bitontheslide]

a 12 year old kid doesn't come up with that sort of stuff on his own

The big difference is that in the other case they didn’t get the right guy. Whether or not you think this particular individual was entirely responsible is not an issue, the issue is that the police are happy with the investigation; they’re not grabbing up random people so an arrest is entirely appropriate. Why do you think anyone would think otherwise?

You have no idea if they got the right guy yet? there has been no further statements on the matter, so in your new book everyone arrested is guilty...?

The authorities seem to be on the right lines. Do you doubt the source is in that house or something?

My main issue is that they’re not grabbing up people in the street.
