This is utterly distressing, as a mother of a child with ASD, and learning difficulties, this could quite easily be my dd in a few years time, and it makes me sick, that there are scum out there that could do that to a vulnerable person.

I believe the yobs have been found and arrested, their parents show no remorse, only the impact of this on their poor boys. No apology to the lady, the apple doesen't fall far from the tree it seems.

It is truely shocking. The poor lady. It seems one of the lads mum is more concerned with her son's birthday than what he done. A public apology and making good to the local area (perhaps litter picking for several weeks) would be a start. In addition to hopefully what action the police take.

I know Pixel, that image of that poor woman bent over, utterly humiliated on the park bench, really resonated. When i was younger, a lad who was a nasty bully, weed all over me, and i was covered in, it, I still feel humiliated 35 years on.

It’s absolutely fucking awful and I have no idea how anyone could possibly be ok with it

What absolute scum. The kids and the parents.

MiggledyHiggins · 30/07/2018 16:50

Little shits. I hope they get convicted and get a record that follows them for some time to come.

That poor woman.

Aeroflotgirl · 30/07/2018 16:51

I saw that image, I cried, as dd could never defend herself, she is in a special school as she is socially and emotionally behind her peers, and we had the foresight to see that type of thing happening to her at a mainstream school, and then filming it and putting it on social media. We want to protect dd as much as possible, but understand later, she might want to be independent as an adult. She is 11 btw.

This is sickening. I have no words.

That poor, poor lady.

Aeroflotgirl · 30/07/2018 16:52

I hope that they have a very long custodial sentence, and have to do community work with people with disabilities, and give to the community in some way, as their parents are doing a piss poor job.

I would like the same really to happen to them, and see how the lady felt, in that position.

It is awful, very disturbing. I know there has always been crimes and violence, Some of the violent acts carried out by youths lately is really horrendous. The world has lots it's dignity.

Obviously there are lots of lovely caring youths too, the bad ones ruin it for them.

PlantsArePeopleToo · 30/07/2018 16:54

have to do community work with people with disabilities

Urgh, no thanks.

Tie them up and throw eggs and flour at them to see how they like it instead.

CanineEnigma · 30/07/2018 16:54

What a shower of little shits, that poor woman.

FissionChips · 30/07/2018 16:54

Utter scum.

Aeroflotgirl · 30/07/2018 16:54

I know Tomato, there are, my dd goes to a mainstream youth club, and the leaders and young people are really good with her. She has made a few friends.

And they’ve got police protection? Something seriously wrong here, they don’t deserve anything.

Samcro · 30/07/2018 16:57

I hope scum like that never work with people with disabilities.

ArmySal · 30/07/2018 16:59

The picture of her is so upsetting.
Horrid little bastards, their parents should be utterly ashamed, I'd be heartbroken if my teenager did anything like that.

SemperIdem · 30/07/2018 16:59

That is horrendous!

PositiveVibez · 30/07/2018 17:01

Absolute scum of the earth. They must have been dragged up. How does anyone become so cruel.

That poor woman.

cloudyweewee · 30/07/2018 17:02

I saw the picture in the paper and it made measy feel sick. My brother has LD and is vulnerable. He lives in supported accommodation and reports like this make me fearful.

gamerchick · 30/07/2018 17:03

They've more than been named. They're being hunted, it would probably be better for them if they were sent to jail for a bit.

nocoolnamesleft · 30/07/2018 17:05

Should be treated as a hate crime.

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 30/07/2018 17:09

Put the scum in the stocks or a pillory for a min of 6 months.

mustbemad17 · 30/07/2018 17:10

I know what i'd do with them & it wouldn't be community service. Litte shits would get a good hiding

BigChocFrenzy · 30/07/2018 17:14

That poor woman; she must be traumatised atm.

Evil bloody bastards AngryAngry

Aeroflotgirl · 30/07/2018 17:14

I agree with everyone. Scum of the earth really. No words😥😥😥
