His troubled 15-year-old assailant was fixated on weapons and carried a hunting knife.
Mohammed Umar Khan's own mother had reported him for possessing an axe — yet a South Yorkshire officer believed his blatant lies that it did not belong to him.
If his phone had been examined, police would have discovered images of the boy posing with knives.
However, no action was taken, and Harvey tragically paid the ultimate price.
Yesterday, a judge named Khan as a warning to other teenagers tempted by knife culture.
This heartbreaking case shockingly highlights how knives have become normalized in our society.
After such horrifying lapses in judgment, how can anxious parents ever feel assured that their children are safe?
No Deterrent
WHAT better illustration of the complete absurdity surrounding Britain’s illegal migrant agreement with France?
An asylum seeker who was previously returned to France under the scheme has simply returned.
Clearly, once back in the UK, he was free to do as he wished.
And the threat of being sent back proved to be no obstacle.
This is hardly surprising, given that — already surpassing the total for last year.
Discussions regarding a potential returns agreement may raise questions about the UK's failure to address the evident pull factors for migration.
This only increases their likelihood of coming.
Officials admit to The Sun today that migrants perceive Britain as generous.
So what actions will her Government take in response?
Total Absurdity
IT’S often frustrating to observe our authorities' strangely skewed priorities.
However, the story of a commuter fined for pouring her coffee down the drain really takes the cake.
She was surrounded by a group of council enforcement officers who targeted a solitary woman behaving innocently at a bus stop.
It’s always the easy targets that face punishment. Would they have confronted a gang of unruly fare-dodging youths?
