And so we took no further action."
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.
According to data collated by PA from information provided by police and prosecutors, so far more than 600 people have been charged over the disorder. Of these, more than 530 are adults and more than 75 are children under the age of 18, about 13 per cent of the total.
