Shirley, they shouldn't get away with this. What about 'Crimestoppers'? Don't know if they can help. Hope your poor lad recovers from it, and that the police punish those lowlifes that did that. :-( x

My sisters 10 yr old boy was attacked by a 15 year old. The 15 year olds father got involved so my sister rang the police and it turns out the family were well known as troublemakers. Thankfully she got her version of events in first. You can't reason with people like that please.. dont take any chances. Sheila

Shirley Please take care if you really don't feel you can ring the police then e-mail them via the web site for the local force xx

Just a quick update.... its 8.30 at night and the police still havent been. A godsend really as my son is not comfortable with them coming and gone to bed a bit worried. thanks for all your help and support. shirley

Shirley I am so sorry you and your lad had to go through this, it has happened to me and when you do catch up with them, adrenelin pumping it is so hard to resist scaring the life out of them, Hope your boy is ok now Caz xxx

police, have been there with one of mine(he was head boy etc) my blood boils for you and your little lad, what goes round comes round is he ok Ann xx hugs for him xx

Shirley How awful, I realty feel for you and your son. I can’t believe the police have become so cavalier. Maybe after a good nights rest your son will feel more prepared to talk to them. Daft question; have you thought of going direct to the station….if you’re both up to it? Get some details down tonight if you can. The memory plays tricks on details; the quicker you record them the better. Just a couple of ideas. Hope I haven’t caused you more upset or offended by suggesting them. Caz

Just read your story Shirley, how dreadfull. Hope your son is ok, and you of course. Girls sometimes are more bullies than boys. Disgusting to think that older children can pick on a younger child,especially 3 on to 1. Hope you get this sorted,these girls have to be stopped, they will think they can get away with this. Thinking of you, Trish xx

Poor you. My 6 yr old was pushed over and BIT last year by an older boy who lived next door (We've moved now thank God!!). It wasnt the first time he'd targetted her, so I told him I'd murder him if he came near her again. (Hubby was petrified, he thinks I went way over top lol!!) Little yob kept well away after that, but his mouthy mother made our life hell. We had to move in the end, but are much happier. My daughter is a sensitive little soul, who just wants to play with her dolls. It makes me so angry that some kids think they rule the street - basically egged on by their parents. Just found out they'd actually been evicted from their previous house for anti social behaviour and having a wild dog!

How's your lad now, did the police come along? Liz

Hope your son is ok, no-one has the right to do that to him. When my son was younger, he was always a victim, other kids thinking he was a mug, because he was small for his age they thought he was an easy target.I sent him to karate lessons, that gave him the confidence to stand up for himself. I lost all faith in the police years ago, I reported a crime and was made to feel like a criminal, trouble is we need the police but they wonder why people take the law into their own hands. My son is 17 now, he is stopped constantly by police for stop & search, I don't have a problem with that, but it gets a bit much for him sometimes when he knows he's done nothing wrong and the real little villains get left alone. - Carol
