Teenaged boy and girl avoid jail after forcing autistic black boy to kiss his shoe

Two teenagers have avoided jail after an autistic black boy was forced to kiss the shoes of a white thug who threatened to 'slap the 50 shades of black' out of another victim in vile videos.

The 17-year-old girl and boy were arrested after the shocking footage was shared on line after being filmed in early June at Holmfirth Cricket Club in West Yorkshire.

However, Crown lawyers dropped race hate charges against the pair and the case was settled yesterday after they each agreed to sign a good behaviour contract and pay £50 compensation to each individual they terrorised.

One video shows a white teenage boy stood with a white teenage girl, telling the black youngster to kiss his shoe.

The young black man appears to be shoved on the head as the bully tries to get him onto the ground and taunts him, saying: 'Nobody is going to back you.'

The young man, wearing a red-t-shirt, looks distressed and begins shrugging his shoulders.

The pair continue to yell 'get on the floor' and the thug adds: 'Kiss my fresh Air Force Ones that I paid £120 for'. He also appears to hit the vulnerable young man in the heard.

Cruel laughter is heard in the background as the victim eventually kneels on the grass and leans over to kiss both shoes.

Another video captured the white teen taunting another black boy, saying: 'I will slap the 50 shades of black out of you pal.'

Two 17 year olds arrested over the incident were due to go on trial today at Leeds Youth Court.

The boy, of Holmfirth and girl, of Huddersfield, cannot be named for legal reasons.

The male accused had admitted common assault on the first victim and the girl had admitted causing harassment, alarm or distress to him. But both denied racially aggravated assault.

The boy had also denied racially aggravated intentional harassment, alarm or distress in relation to the second victim.

But on Tuesday he pleaded guilty to the charge in relation to the second victim and the prosecution offered no evidence to the joint racially aggravated assault charges.

They have both been referred to the Kirklees Youth Offender Panel, with the boy's order to last seven months and the girl's to run for four months.

They were also each ordered to pay £50 compensation to the victims.

A referral order requires juvenile offenders to appear before the panel to decide how they should be punished.

They also have to sign a contract on how they can improve their behaviour.
