A WIRRAL teenager was the victim of a ‘mindless attack’ as she walked home in Rock Ferry.

Charlie Hannah, 17, from Rock Ferry was walking on Bedford Road around 10pm after visiting the shop with her friend when two schoolboys began throwing stones and glass at them from their pockets.

Police are investigating the incident.

Nikki, Charlie’s mum, told the Globe: “The girls were walking back from Tesco when the lads, no older than 11, started walking towards them wolf whistling and throwing stuff at them.

“Charlie’s friend shouted back saying ‘go away and learn how to throw’ before Charlie felt blood trickle down her face – the boys saw that she was bleeding and ran away.

“She called me straight away and I picked her up and drove around to see if I could find the kids responsible but there was no sign of them.

“A paramedic car was driving down the road so I managed to flag them down and they checked Charlie over.

“Luckily she didn’t need stitches and there was no serious damage and they did say that a cut from the head can bleed a lot.

“I put something on Facebook and a girl messaged me saying that she’d had a similar thing happen to her in the same area by Victoria Park.

“I drove to Jack and Jill’s nursery over the road from where it happened to see if there was any CCTV footage of the boys but their cameras don’t cover the area.

“They were wearing dark clothing and one of the boys tried to stop the other from throwing the objects so it sounds like he didn’t want to take part.

“I’m hoping the power of voice will help track these lads down. We’ve reported it to the police but with no CCTV it’s very hard to track them down.”

She added: “I just don’t understand why these kids were allowed out at that time.

“They’re dragged up not brought up.

“People are scared of kids now – who knows when they’re going to stop. These lads could have had a knife and stabbed someone.

“They’re already armed and they’ve done this to people before.

"I'm so glad Charlie is a quiet girl and won’t retaliate to anything like this. It could’ve been so much worse.”

So far the post has had more than 300 shares on Facebook after being published yesterday.

Nikki said: “Hopefully the post and this message will make people think so that the boys responsible can be tracked down.

"These kids need to be stopped."

Inspector Kate Wilkinson said: "This type of behaviour is not acceptable.
