Pictures of a tearaway teenager are to be distributed in Middlesbrough, in the hope of stopping him re-offending. On Tuesday he was made the subject of an Anti Social Behaviour Order. He brought terror to the area he lived in.
The abso also bans him from throwing or threating to throw eggs, or gathering in a group of three or more outside peoples homes. He will also have to return to court if he is found spraying graffiti or using abusive language anywhere in Middlesbrough.
In the next two weeks enforcement officers will post his picture to approx 1000 homes in that area, it will give details of his banning order and a contact phone number for anyone wanting to report a breach of his order.
This lad is aged 13 and the order will last for 5 years. after the hearing his mother said
"five years is a long time when i look at other peoples crimes in the past. Ashley is naughty, he is a 13 yr old kid. But he is not a criminal and I am willing to check my son if people come to me and tell me what he is doing".
Do you think this type of thing is a good thing? will it make people start acting in a better manner in their community ?
I personally feel this is a good way to try and turn a teenager round and get them back on the straight and narrow. He obviously has caused some big problems for his neighbourhood for them to take this action, I think people in that neighbourhood will be a lot happier to see that nuicanses like him are not being allowed to get away with it.
