I see no problem at all here, a woman got angry and attacked a person abotu whom she knw nothing, certainly there was no evidence of a crime having been committed by that boy. So she has rightly been convicted and should think about her actions more carefully. A real problem British society has, along with some youth violence and anti-social behaviour, is the demonisation and criminalisation of any teenager, especially boys by the media and this is represented in the actions of local governments and local people. Most teenagers behave respectfully and well but stories like this disregard that and just take the easy road of attacking the teenagers and assuming this woman is right because her father was a WW2 pilot.
