A mother's legal fight against the police

Today

Available for over a year

A 14-year-old boy 'Simon', sent a picture of himself naked to a girl at his school. He then had his name recorded on a police intelligence database alongside a crime of making and distributing indecent images of a child. His mother 'Margaret' has taken out a legal challenge against Greater Manchester Police because they may release the information to potential employers when he's older. She says the police don't need to record his personal details and are interpreting the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Office guidelines incorrectly. Margaret's words are spoken by an actor.
