Simply wanting to belong to something': why did children take part in the English riots?
Briefly

The judge expressed disbelief at the teenager’s lack of awareness, stating, "I don't even know what that is," about the cenotaph, highlighting a concerning disconnect.
The solicitor commented on the 16-year-old's political ignorance: "His political views were generally nonexistent," indicating a broader issue of engagement among youth in civic matters.
One of the youngest charged, a 12-year-old with ADHD, was called "the UK's worst rioter" by a tabloid, illustrating how media perceptions can shape public narratives.
The family of the 12-year-old faced consequences for his actions with the mother being fined 1,200 for skipping the sentencing to go on holiday.
