He followed her into a shop and then stabbed her just because she said NO. Then our woeful justice system treated her like collateral damage and him like the one who mattered. This 14 yr old boy became obsessed with a girl at school after she ended it and refused to date him. He then harassed her on fake accounts, waited in a car park, followed her into a shop with a kitchen knife and stabbed her in the neck, face and hands in a frenzied attack. When the shopkeeper tried to stop him, he stabbed him in the back too. Luckily, she managed to run away. The sentence? A PATHETIC 12 month referral order and a three year restraining order for a premeditated and calculated attack. No custody. The judge described it as "very troubling", but then decided he wasn't a danger because he's "still young" and "capable of learning." The girl now flinches when someone lifts a hand near her. She has nightmares. She won't walk outside alone. If that was my daughter I can't write here what I'd do. But that's the takeaway message here and in cases similar, that her trauma is an unfortunate side effect whereas his future is the priority. If that sentence makes your blood boil like it did mine then you can ask the Attorney General to review it as unduly lenient. Anyone can do this and you have 28 days from sentencing (on 21 September so until around 19 October) to do this. It takes 5 minutes to do and by law, each one has to be reviewed. Ask for a Crown Court sentence to be reviewed: gov.uk/ask-crown-court-sente… Name: Un-named 14 yr old boy Sentencing date: 21/09/26 Court: Bristol Crime: Wounding with intent Reason: This was a planned public knife attack where yhe offender waited for the victim, followed her into a shop armed with a kitchen knife, stabbed her repeatedly to the neck, face and hands after she refused a relationship, then stabbed the shopkeeper who tried to intervene. The victim has been left with lasting trauma and fear. This does not make a referral order an adequate response to a premeditated stabbing in a public place that could easily have been fatal. The sentence treats the offender's rehabilitation as the central concern and the victim's harm as secondary. It falls outside the range reasonably available for this offending. @Wommando
