A mum said she is "proud to be scouse" after an outpouring of support from the city when a video emerged of her son being bullied.
The mum shared a video with the ECHO of her 11-year-old son being attacked while he was playing football in Adlam Park, Fazakerley, with his friends on Sunday, May 2 at around 5pm. His devastated mum, 31, who asked that she and her son were not named, described how he was grabbed by the neck and kicked in the head by a boy who approached him despite, she claimed, telling him he "just wanted to have a game of football".
Video footage of part of the attack shows the 11-year-old being held to the floor by his neck as he's kicked in the head by another boy. In the footage, which The ECHO has chosen to mute, you hear one of the boys say "I'll stab your da in the neck you fat c***".
