My younger brother (who has mild learning difficulties) is currently on police bail awaiting trial after an argument on face book with another lad (also with mild ld) spiraled out of control. They basically threatened to kill each other with quite graphic descriptions, with threats of gang violence from the other party also. Who then reported the conversation to the police who promptly arrested them both and charged then both with’cyber harassment’ or some thing. It’s a nightmare and whilst I can understand the polce arresting them and giving them a rollicking I don’t see what charging two young adults on the spectrum will achieve apart from making their lives more difficult. Waiting to see what happens next month, hopefully the judge sees sense and throws it out.
