Family's Relief After Court Punishes ASB Teen
| Posted on June 10, 2010 at 4:24 PM |
A TEENAGER who tormented a Solihull family with insults and criminal damage has been handed a raft of court orders to put an end to his anti-social behaviour. The16-year-old from Chelmsley Wood subjected his victims, three of whom have learning difficulties, to repeated verbal abuse while fences were broken and objects thrown at their Oak Croft home.
He was arrested by Solihull Police following complaints from the family and, after admitting the offences at Solihull Youth Court, has been given a Restraining Order and must enter a Youth Rehabilitation programme. The judge also imposed a curfew ordering him to stay indoors between 8pm and 6am every day for at least the next three months. An electronic tag will alert officers if he breaches the curfew.
PC Nicole Cummins guided the family through the investigation and subsequent case with Solihull Police’s Vulnerable Persons Officer. She said:“The siblings are extremely happy at the outcome and feel much more secure knowing the offender is now prohibited from contacting them or going anywhere near their home. I’m grateful the family reported their problems to us. No-one should suffer in silence and we’d encourage anyone who’s experiencing anti-social behaviour to contact us.”
The Restraining Order means the teenager is forbidden from contacting his victims, even through a third party, approaching them, or going nea rtheir property for 12 months. And the Youth Rehabilitation Order involves carrying out unpaid work in the community and attending a victim awareness course to help him understand the affect his actions have on people. Forthe next 18 months he’ll also have to report regularly to the police’s youth offending team.
Pc Cummins, added: “If he breaches any of these orders he’ll very quickly find himself back in court. These orders are designed to support victims whilst alsot rying to alter the behaviour of offenders.”
