there's a case reported in tonite's edinburgh evening news about a violent boy's ongoing anti-social behaviour.

he was fat but the pic on his bebo page shows him to have become very handsome.

and he's got his arms around a pretty girl (his sister?)!

as well as causing harm to others, now he's ruined his own future too.

evidently he did not receive necessary therapeutic help when he was young enough to benefit from it.

Cornelius first came to the police's attention in October 2000 when he abducted a nine-year-old girl from her grandmother's house, stabbed her eight times, narrowly missing an artery in the throat, and then left her for dead near the Fountain Park leisure complex.

He was not prosecuted for attempted murder as he had a mental age lower than eight, the age of criminal responsibility - and was dealt with by children's hearing. He spent 17 months in secure accommodation...

...Cornelius' history of offending includes a crime spree just weeks after he was freed from secure accommodation for his first offence.

Cornelius was also tried for a number of sex offences against two girls - including his original victim - when he was 15 but the case collapsed due to a lack of evidence.

AT first Darren Cornelius' Bebo site makes him sound like any other teenager.

His opening lines reveal he likes going out with his mates, he is single, and is looking for a girlfriend. But it does not take long for the 18-year-old's taste for violence and alcohol to emerge...
