Three-year-old boy 'anti-social'

Michelle Mann, 24, of Willow Park, Wythenshawe, Manchester, was told "playing ball games close to someone else's home" breached the tenancy.

Willow Park Housing Trust landlords said in a letter that she could be evicted, if her son Ben continued.

The trust said it takes all complaints seriously and is deciding if any action is appropriate.

The letter sent to Ms Mann reads: "Willow Park has received a complaint about anti-social behaviour perpetrated by your son Ben and his friends, who have been playing football and causing a disturbance.

"Anti-social behaviour includes: Playing ball games close to someone else's home."

But she said her son was merely playing on grass near their home and insists the three-year-old was not doing anything unusual or abusive.

She said: "They are trying to say my son is a yob, just because he played football.

"I'm upset and angry because I know he's not like that and other people who live here know that.

"If I had a 16-year-old son I could understand, but Ben is only three and he's a very polite little boy."

It is believed a neighbour contacted the housing trust and complained when Ben was kicking the ball with two other boys, one aged 12.
