In this horrifying video, a man is seen shoving an autistic boy into a trash bin as a ‘joke’ before assaulting the boy’s brother for stepping in to save him.
Jordan Scott, 24, was captured on doorbell security camera footage throwing an eight-year-old boy named Maverick Bond into a blue trash bin before he and Jason Clemance, 19, engaged in fight.
The videos show Scott punching Mr. Clemance on his own porch as the argument between the two families heated up.
Pictures taken by Mr. Clemance’s mother, Rachel, revealed that the attack left him with scratches and bruises all over his body and face.
At Blackburn Magistrates’ Court earlier this week, Scott admitted to assaulting Maverick and Jason.
It was acknowledged that during the assault in Blackburn, Lancashire, on August 14, 2013, Scott was unaware that Maverick had autism and had thrown him in the trash as a crude ‘joke’.
However, courts imposed a 12-month community order, 100 hours of unpaid labour, and a requirement that Scott make restitution to his victims.
Rachel Clemance stated after the court that Scott’s penalty did not reflect the anguish her family had experienced.
She said: ‘My sons were already suffering because of other things that have happened in their lives, which people in the street knew about, including Jordan Scott.
‘So putting my eight-year-old in a bin, who is such a beautiful soul, brought all the past memories back, and he couldn’t understand why someone could do that to a person that wouldn’t hurt a fly.
‘He still has nightmares now. Jordan Scott is just a down-right bully.
‘Jason did nothing to deserve that attack. He’s only ever been hit once before, and my boys aren’t fighters.
‘I so wish I had brought them up that way, to defend themselves from men like Jordan Scott.’
Rachel explained that thuggish Scott was only brought to justice following the quick-thinking actions of her other son, Codi, who was 12 at the time of the attack.
She said: ‘On that night, Codi, my other son, he kept opening and shutting the door so we could get it on the camera.
‘That’s what he did every time he felt unsafe. It wasn’t fair, and it wasn’t fair the fact all the kids in the street saw it.’
Rachel said she has been forced to leave area now as Maverick had refused to go out and play unless she was watching over him.
She said: ‘He was getting bullied by some of the kids, and the bullying got worse, so he felt intimidated.
‘He still goes on about it to this day – he was getting hit, they would taunt him.
‘He is such a loving-natured child, and I’m not just saying that because he’s my son, he would help anyone.
‘It kills me every day that this happened to my boys – my children. Now we have such amazing neighbours and live in a lovely area.
‘I’m just upset that we had all this evidence from the doorbell camera, and it didn’t make a bit of difference with his sentencing – it’s sickening.
‘I’m heartbroken at the sentence he received as bullies like him deserve more, but now the truth is out there, I just want to get on trying to build mine and my children’s lives.’
Scott was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £95, £120 in costs, and £50 in compensation to each assault victim.
