Olympic ambassador arrested for taking part in rioting
A mother who turned her own daughter into police after discovering she was allegedly involved in rioting, has urged other parents to do the same.
Adrienne Ives, 47, said the decision to tell detectives she had spotted her 18-year-old Olympics ambassador daughter Chelsea taking part in this week's riots was 'gut-wrenching'.
The talented athlete was stripped of her role as 2012 Olympic haambassador after being charged with burglary, violent disorder and hurling bricks at a police car.
However, Adrienne, 47, said that she had no choice but to contact officers.
She told the Daily Mirror: 'Any parent who loves their child should find the courage to do what we did.'
'If parents keep their mouths shut these kids will keep rampaging through the streets.
'As a mother, I love my daughter. It?s not easy, but we hope we?ve done the right thing. It was a hard decision to make but it was a decision that any good parent would do. These riots happen because good parents do nothing.'
Chelsea, 18, is in custody accused of taking part in the disorder at Enfield, North London.
