Earlier this year a sickening video emerged online. Two boys, aged 13 and 14, were filmed punching and kicking their victim before forcing him to kiss one of his attacker’s shoes.
In the footage, which went viral, the bullies can be heard saying to their victim: “do you want a broken jaw” before he is kicked and punched. The victim pleads with the pair and asks “Have I done anything?”
During the prolonged attack, the pair also spat at their victim and shouted: “Get on your f*****g knees.
“Touch him I'll bang you. No, don't speak to him, kiss his shoe. Now. Kiss his f_g shoe. Do you want a broken jaw? Do you want a broken jaw? Get on your f_g knees and kiss his shoe. Kiss his shoe now.
“Kiss his f***g shoe. P****. Fk you.”
After the video appeared on Facebook, the police stepped in and now action has been taken. The 13 year old boy, who cannot be named, was handed a nine month referral order after pleading guilty to a public order offence and a common assault charge.
The 14 year old has pleaded guilty to common assault and is set to be sentenced on 30 June.
