#ARRESTED| We were alerted to a series of racist messages sent to a footballer today and after looking into them and conducting checks, we have arrested a boy.
The 12-year-old from #Solihull has been taken to custody.
Thanks to everyone who raised it. Racism won't be tolerated.pic.twitter.com/oFxBUvdtV1
#UPDATE | The 12-year-old boy arrested in connection with racist social media messages sent to a footballer has been released under investigation while our enquiries continue.
Racism has no place in society and we're attempting to contact the footballer to obtain a statement.
Thank you big brother
He was born knowing nothing. Just saying.
He's picked it up from somewhere. So very sad to have a poisoned mind at such a young age.
It clearly stems from somewhere so start with the parents. I'm not saying it is them but he's picked up racist remarks and been taught to be racist by someone, you're not born racist
You’re so right, a 12 year old should know better! I’ve never known a 12 year old to behave so inappropriately. Usually pubescent little boys are the model of level-headedness and wisdom. Clearly something went wrong with this one, let’s hope for a lengthy prison sentence
You have gone mad fella. Education is needed here. You make the kid out to be evil...
And what the f**k has that got to do with this?
