Heard that an old friend of mine had her flat broken into late at night a few weeks ago. She is a single mum to her ds 4 and obviously was very scared when she heard somebody creeping about her home. She could hear them in the living room, so after calling 999, managed to sneak up behind him and knock him to the ground (she used to work on the doors so she is used to taking on people bigger than her) and held him down with her weight until the police arrived. The burglar turned out to be a boy of 15, who is now claiming that he was assaulted by my friend, saying he has various injuries etc. and my friend is so worried she is going to be charged. I'm so angry that anybody would even listen to this boy, as far as I can see he broke into HER home where HER son was sleeping, so hell mend him if he got hurt! He could have been even more unlucky and been stabbed had he broke into somebody else's home. Fair game in my opinion.
