It's not the first time they've done it - they're under 18 - they've been in a Youth Offenders institution already - think it's going to be ABH as this time they didn't manage to break anything! My son is big and tough and very fit - he couldn't believe they could do that to him, but if you're jumped from behind when you're not expecting it .............

He's ok physically - just anxious about going out on his own in the evening on foot in the quiet little town where he lives - when I say little, it's only got one High Street, one bank, one supermarket etc. and he does loads for the community and helps run the local football club etc. He's also anxious about leaving his wife alone in the house in the evenings if he has to go out, and also anxious about possible damage to their cars outside their homes. Associates of the little bs have been walking past several times a day with absolutely no reason.

Part of the bail conditions is that they're not allowed in the town, but that doesn't apply to their friends of course. The problem is they think that they can get away with anything 'cos they're under 18 and up until now they have - hopefully the judge will think differently this time. The CCTV evidence is pretty shocking!

It's sadly unusual to find anyone willing to confront racists even if they don't agree with them, the world needs more people like your son, you must be so proud of him. I hope his physical and emotional wounds heal fast, is there any counselling available to him through victim support or anything? Do the police know about the little scroats who are trying to intimidate him? Makes my blood boil.
My son's wife is from an ethnically Islamic part of Russia and she is Moslem. My son in law's family are from the Caribbean. We cannot bear racism and intolerance.
My son wasn't violent or abusive - he just told the boys politely that their behaviour wasn't acceptable - just as any adult should be able to.
As the 18C philosopher and politician Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

It makes my blood boil too.My anger is directed at the parents, there are too many no hopers who's only talent is to breed.The children should be taken into care, or if older compulsory military service.If the child is deemed too be too young to be legally responsible for their actions it is the parents who should be prosecuted.
I would like to think that I would have the courage to follow your sons example.

Oh my god Dove thats even worse that they know where he lives. I thought you meant it was some distance from his home. You must be so worried.
Big hugs from me Dove.
Looks like lots of us on here have some worry or another at the mo.
Dove that must be so scary! (Sorry, not helping)... Is there witness protection or anything they can put in place?
I thought spring was meant to be the time when everyone is cheering, what's happening?!

Yes, the police are aware and have told him to dial 999 and quote a CAD number if there is an incident.
Victim support haven't really been able to offer anything.
