link to original story

Two thugs who punched a young man so hard surgeons had to remove half of his skull have escaped charges.

Steve Gator with his mother Nina, furious his attackers will escape charges

Steve Gator, 26, has been told the teenagers who ambushed him will not face court after the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the case.

The CPS said it did not have enough evidence to proceed but Steve's mother, Nina, expressed her disbelief at the decision.

"Our boy is walking around with half a head - what more evidence do they need?" said Mrs Gator, 47. "I can't believe it."

Mr Gator, of Romford, Essex, was left seriously brain damaged following the attack as he made his way home from work on January 15.

The two thugs started screaming taunts and abuse at him about his cousin but when he confronted them he was hit so hard he fell back and smashed his head on the pavement.

He's just a different boy. His sparkle is totally gone. He used to be so independent but he can't work any more and he can't drive. He's got half-a-head and he's completely lost his confidence.

He was left in a coma for two weeks and his brain swelled so much surgeons removed the front half of his skull just hours after he was admitted.

He now suffers frequent seizures, has difficulty talking, and lost much of his memory.

Mr Gator now lives with his mother, who is his main carer as he can no longer work.

Mrs Gator said: "He's just a different boy. His sparkle is totally gone. He used to be so independent but he can't work any more and he can't drive. He's got half a head and he's completely lost his confidence.

"There's absolutely nothing protecting his brain now - it's just under his skin. We're waiting for surgery for a new skull plate to be put in."

A Havering police spokesman said they had no plans to look for any other attackers in connection with the case, adding: "We gave the CPS all the evidence available and after reviewing the case they decided not to proceed with it. We adhere to their decision."

Corrine Soanders, the Crown Prosecutor for Havering, said: "Once the CPS had been supplied with all the necessary evidence relevant to this case, a full review showed there was insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction.

"This is a key test which must be met to bring a prosecution and in light of this, the case against the two defendants was discontinued. I apologise to the victim and his family for not conveying this decision to them personally.

"I welcome any questions they may have and will be contacting them shortly to offer further explanation."

JMC Ministries Thoughts

Do you think that if this happened in America that those teenagers would have gone free for "lack of evidence?"

We can't believe the justice system in Great Britain actually said they couldn't pursue the case due to "lack of evidence" Are you kidding?!!

The fact that teenagers did this NOT adults and are becoming so violent to crack a mans skull with their HANDS it is so astounding. Just their hands!

Take a good look at that picture. That is what our FUTURE generations are doing to pave the way for the future of the world.

Some might say, "well, it didn't happen in America." Yeah it is, things like this are happening here and everywhere around the world. Everywhere Teenagers are becoming more and more violent. More crimes now are committed by teenagers than adults. It is a scary growing trend. We just watched a video today about the growing trend of organized fight clubs for teenagers. Teens get together after school and fighting, video taping it and putting it on youtube. The fight doesn't end until someone is either beaten into submission or knocked unconscious. Don't think this is real? Just look it up on youtube they say there are thousands of videos like that, and we ourselves have seen some of those videos. This story was being covered because one child was beaten so badly they ended up in the hospital and now over a dozen teens are in custody and the videos have been removed from youtube. However, they did say there are thousands more of videos showing teen violence. This happened in America.

We ask that you please pray for the young man who was injured and that some how some way justice is served and those 2 teen boys pay the consequences for their actions. And pray for the future generations of this world. There are so many lost. If we don't show them the way and teach them, how are they to know there is a BETTER way?
