Asbo Kids get in free to the London Dungeon

An article from This is London says:

"Yobs will get free entry to one of Britain's top tourist attractions this weekend - if they've got ASBOs.

Teen thugs with orders for terrorising their neighbours, binge drinking and serial theft will be handed free entry to the London Dungeon - but well-behaved families will have to fork out more than £70."

Asbo for Racist Drinker

An article from the Oxford Mail tells of street drinker Kenneth Pollard's alcohol influenced acts including two racist attacks.

"He had committed 10 offences last year and 19 in total since 1998.

The assaults and public order offences included a drunken attack on a Sikh man in the city centre.

During the incident at Carfax Tower on May 29, his turban was ripped off with such force that some of his hair was pulled out with it.

In the trial at Oxford Magistrates' Court, he said that for a Sikh having his turban ripped off was "the most embarassing thing possible". "


Pollard has also committed six public order offences, two shoplifting offences and one of drug possession.

The "ASBOY"

This is a story that came up in a number of papers about a 10 year old boy who has recently been given an Asbo.

"A 10-year-old boy has become one of the youngest children in Britain to be given an Asbo. Anthony Bird was made subject to the tough order for two years following a spate of anti-social incidents in Middlesbrough.
He is banned from throwing things, threatening or annoying staff in two local shops, drinking alcohol and using insults and threats."
