Violence erupted in multiple towns following the tragic killing of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport on July 29.

In the aftermath of the riots, a 12-year-old boy admitted to two counts of violent disorder related to the disturbances, which included throwing a missile at a police van and vandalizing a vape shop.

The boy was due for sentencing in Manchester, but his mother missed the court appearance due to a holiday in Ibiza, prompting the judge to summon her to explain her absence.

District Judge Joanne Hirst expressed astonishment at the mother's decision to vacation just before her son's court date, emphasizing the importance of her presence.

Judge Hirst adjourned the boy's sentencing to September 11, highlighting the necessity of the mother's involvement in his life during this critical time.

The judge criticized the mother's choice to leave her son before his court hearing, stating that it worsened the situation.

Hirst emphasized that boys like the young offender need their mothers in their lives, especially during such serious circumstances.

The boy's uncle attended the court in place of his mother, who is expected to return from her holiday shortly.

The boy, who is terrified of going to prison, was accompanied by his mother, who is undergoing cancer treatment.

Judge Hirst warned the teenager that he narrowly avoided custody and emphasized the opportunity for rehabilitation with a 12-month supervision and curfew order.

In a separate case, a 16-year-old boy received a referral order instead of jail time for throwing a bottle at a police horse during the riots.

The 16-year-old expressed remorse for his actions, attributing them to the adrenaline of the chaotic situation.
