>The sentencing of a 12-year-old boy who admitted taking part in two separate episodes of disorder in Manchester has been adjourned because his mother went on holiday in Ibiza.
>District Judge Joanne Hirst told the youth court hearing the boy had played “a greater part in the recent disorder than any adult I have seen”.
>She said she was “frankly astonished” that the boy’s parent had gone on a five-day holiday and was not prepared to proceed without her present.
>The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had earlier admitted taking part in rioting in Manchester on 31 July and throwing a missile at a police van in Manchester city centre on 3 August
