£50 Compensation For Alec
 

Remember i would keep you all informed about when Alec was set about after school.
The youth involved was taken to court and found guilty. Ive still not had a letter as to what his punnishment was from the police etc but this morning a letter from the courts has arrived to say they have granted Alec £50 compensation from the youth. I would imagine he will pay it to the courts on a weekly basis of a couple of quid.

Im delighted about this, we never asked for compensation, just Justice.

Looks like me being adamant that i wanted justice for my son has worked for a change.

Good result - perhaps this little yob will think twice next time if it costs him money. I's sure Alec can find a good use for it.

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

I am very pleased the little hooligan hs been made to pay Alec the money. But it is not very much money to compensate Alec for the abuse he suffered, it is totally unacceptable what happened to him.
It does show that if you know you are in the right you should be very insistant and stick to your guns. I wonder how many others have caved in, in similiar circumstances.

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

That's good news. Lke others have said I hope he'll learn his lesson and think twice before resorting to violence in the future.

I hope Alec does something enjoyable with the money.:)

Don't hold your breath, the court might have awarded it to your son, but their next task will be getting the money off the guilty party, if he doesn't want to pay up that can take an awful long time!

glad somthing was done about the littel turd the next time he assaults somone i hope he gets sent to under 18's prison

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

Excellent news Jimmi, I hope Alex enjoys himself with the money he has been awarded and that the little thug that assaulted him has learned a lesson..

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

That's good news. I think the reason these thugs bully is because they all too often get away with it....

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

:) great news especially about him found guilty!!! As he any ideas what he might spend the dosh on ... if the lads pays that is

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

Justice is served. About time something was done about young thugs and the court stopped pussy footing about with them. Just goes to show that if pressure is put on even the police and CPS have to do what they are paid to do.

I am pretty new to accy web so dont know the circumstances involved! all i can tell you is well done to you i have a little story for you.My 9 year old daughter was being bullied at school off a brat of a lad (could have rung his neck) both me and my wife reported this to the head teacher on MANY occasions to no avail! What happens next my daughter was pushed over in the school grounds and dislocated her elbow needing surgical treatment! The head teacher dennied we had been in to see him before this. we took the lad to court and my daughter was awarded a nice payment.Just goes to show hit them where it hurts thats the only way

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

Congratulations on a brilliant result. It's about time these bullies were made to face up to what they are doing.

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

nice result....

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

Hiya cpcman
basically what happened was my son had just left the school grounds at 4.40pm after doing a duke of Edinburgh meeting. 3 youths jumped him from behind a parked van. It turned out to be mistaken identy. 2 of the youth was cautioned as it was their first wrong doing. The 3rd was taken to court as he has a habit of beating people up.


Alec is delighted with the compo, had to explain that he will have to wait sometime to get it. Think he will be buying a pc game with it. He even mentioned keeping it in the bank towards driving lessons when he is 17. Thats only 16 months away.

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

£50 im assuming alec has been attacked off a little chav s**t i wouldnt be satisfied with £50 assault is assault i dont think that the courts or police teach these people to behave themselfs or have a bit of respect im only 17 and i can guarantee that the kid hoo hurt alec is blagging it to all his mates thinking hes solid i dont think these thing should be reported to the police i think you should just get someone to kick the f**k out of him i can guarantee he wont do it again

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

cabn every one please stop saying its a nice result because it isnt a poxy 50 quid fine isnt going to tackle the situation £50 is nothing ok alec might not be attacked again but im sure that the little yobs will do it again to some one else they deserve somethnig a bit more severe than £50

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

I think that when you move over from Germany you'll find that if if you 'get someone to kick the f**k out of him' he'll be the one getting compensation.

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

£50 is a good result when you were expecting nothing Johnlove. In the UK it is quite normal to get ****** all, so yes, £50..........better than nowt.

Re: £50 Compensation For Alec
 

Hi John
It will probably be the lads mother that ends up paying it as the offender or youth as stated in the paperwork is only 15 and still at school.
The offender was well known to the police for violence and had always got away with cautions or community programs. This time i was adamant it went to court and he got a criminal record to add to his portfolio ! At the end of the day, muggers and rapists generally start with violence in their teens. At least with his record now, they can keep a better eye on him through the courts in later years when no doubt he offends again.

We never asked for any compensation so the £50.00 was a bonus. My aim was for justice, and we got it for a change ! :D

good for him! if you contact the cps they usually pay out straight away then claim the money of the little wizzard later.(wizzard replaces a much harsher word by the way)
