Juding from the picture of the girl i think she has a good chance of recovering pretty much fully. teeth are not a problem for a 4 year old fortunately. And it doesn't look too bad over all.
I can't understand that the guy was laughing. What a twisted mind.
I don't know how it works in the UK, but here in the US an 18 year old is not a 'teenager', he's an adult.
However I agree that intent has a lot to do with how you should punish criminals. He hit a little girl in the face, but did he intend to do that? It sounds like the prosecution couldn't prove intent and so they made a deal.
I can't help noticing the dad, aged 23, was said to be 'remonstrating' the punks. It's never a good idea to screw with people when you have more to lose than them. He had something to protect, his kid in the vehicle, so he really didn't have any reason to do anything other than drive away. If he wants to teach them a lesson he'd need to leave the kid home first. Too bad the daughter pays the price for two guys trying to intimidate each other.
Down here in the good old south,
The family of the girl would of took turns kicking the shit out of the man that was stupid enough to through a brick at someone's kid.
"Jersey-Lou Perry"
Woah, why attack her if she has a name like that? Way to kick someone while they're down...
if its his first time he will be out in 1-6 months.

well nevermind this is uk so i dont know how harsh they are on first timers
I'm questioning his parents. Yes you're an adult at age 18, but seriously, who the hell would do such a thing?

He is most likely a legal adult, but news websites call anyone under 20 a teenager

Which is no wrong.

Fuck you, the Sun. You have no right to use language like that no matter what they've done.
Not that I'm condoning what he did, of course.[/QUOTE]
I accept my dumbs, but I'm from the U.S. I haven't been able to figure out what YOB means. Is it "Youth-blank-blank"?
Yes, I know, just stating the fact.

[noparse]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/term-you-are-wondering-about[/noparse] works quite well for me 99% of the time.
It's "boy" spelled backwards. Means an idiot youth.
The OP reminded me so much of The Putty:
