A mum was moved to tears after the incredible response following a "horrific" ordeal.
Christianna Peterson, from Bootle, was lying in bed one evening when she saw a "cruel" video being shared on social media of an 11-year-old boy being savagely attacked. A young boy was out playing football with his friends on May 2 at Adlam Park when he was grabbed by the neck and kicked.
The ECHO previously reported on the video footage in which you hear one of the boys say "I'll stab your da in the neck you fat c***". Shared on social media by the boy's mum, who wishes to remain anonymous, it was viewed thousands of times as she appealed for help.
