Burnley tearaway, 15, locked up

9:30am Monday 14th February 2011 in Rosegrove By Wendy Barlow, Court reporter

PUT AWAY Green PUT AWAY Green

A 15-year-old tearaway has been locked up after bringing misery to the lives of residents in part of Burnley.

Charlie Green, 15, known as ‘Charlie Chips’, is the subject of an anti-social behaviour order which he has repeatedly flouted.

He has now been locked up for four months after admitting an attack on a taxi driver.

Green, with accomplice, Alfie Dunstan, 21, was part of a gang which targeted and confronted a cabbie.

The victim was attacked, cash and cigarettes stolen from him and then his taxi was kicked.

He can be named publicly for the first time in criminal proceedings, after a judge ruled it was in the public interest and removed reporting restrictions. Green, of Liverpool Road, Burnley, whose "supportive, but long-suffering" mother accompanied him to the crown court hearing, had admitted theft and using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.

Dunstan, of Buccleuch Street, in the town, was jailed for eight months, after pleading guilty to affray.

Dunstan was said to have struck the victim.

Judge Beverley Lunt told Green, he had a ‘dreadful record’.

The ASBO hearing last March had been told how in the months before, Green had been arrested for robbery, common assault, burglary, verbal abuse, possession of cannabis, harassment, witness intimidation, damage and obstructing police.

Simon Gurney, defending Green, told the crown court he had a "disgraceful " record for a child of his age.

The defendant had "multiple and various" difficulties in his life, had special educational needs, behavioural problems and a low IQ.

if this young chap has a low I.Q and 'special needs' he has to have his circle of associates rigorously controlled or he will end up being used as a scapegoat, provoked into offending and generally taken the piddle out of. it sounds as if it has already been happening for a while.

Special needs is another term for 'more benefits please'. I bet if this lad had a decent father figure in his life an some discipline he wouldn't be arrested all the time.

Really??? I thought the ASBO was supposed to stop all anti-social behaviour? Or maybe it was just a complete joke.

Judge Lunt can comment all she like about his dreadful record. She's one of the few people that can actually DO something about it.

"in the months BEFORE he got the ASBO".
.
Presumably these offences happened before he got the ASBO, so I cannot understand what relevance the ASBO has? Indeed you could say that as he hasn't been arrested since he had the ASBO it has worked.

He hould have gone down long ago, yet again the justice system letting US down, these courts need to get a grip with these young offenders, nip it in the bud, Dont tell me the prisons are full, plenty of old warships being decommisioned, put them out to sea at anchor & turn them into prison ships, plenty of painting cleaning, etc, then lock em back up in a nasty cell with no playstation tv etc, deprived of liberty should mean just that. b0ll0x to all these human rights for convicts.

Sorry love. this little scumbag doesn't deserve any looking after or cosseting any more. He didn't care about the taxi driver or any of his victims so he can expect no-one to care about him!

for all you people that are quick to judge who of you actually know the family. the mum does care and try hard for her kids she does alot more than some of you scum bags that have made your comments. and as for the other child being badly behaved you got that wrong. Your all completely wrong about this family
