Ford's Future in Southampton Paul Poolton Hannah Foster Murder Trial Fluoride debate


Sins of the son passed to the father in ruling

9:02am Wednesday 13th June 2001


The father of a 14-year old youth faces prison and losing his home if his son, who assaulted a caretaker on their New Addington estate, repeats his misbehaviour.

An injunction which followed the incident in November expired and last week the boy and his father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, promised at Croydon County Court to continue the good behaviour.

Valid for one year, it means that

the youth will not assault, menace or otherwise use threatening behaviour

towards council staff and that his

father will ensure these conditions are adhered to.

A breach would leave both facing a possible fine for contempt of court, as well possible imprisonment in the case of the father, and action to repossess their council home.
