Two teenagers who left another 16-year-old boy disabled have been jailed after a horrific attack was launched on the victim with a baseball bat filled with nails.
John Callis-Woolsey, 18, and Kyle Cullan attacked their 16-year-old victim with the bat which was daubed with the word ‘Lucille’ that has been described as looking like something from The Walking Dead.
After attacking the young teenager with the bat, Callis-Woosley then celebrated by doing the ‘Floss’ dance from the popular computer game Fortnite.
The victim’s mother is not warning others of the impact of violent games and TV programmes can have on youngsters after Callis-Woolsey was jailed for eight years today.
The boy who was attacked now requires full-time care due to a lifelong brain injury which has left him being only able to walk with the aid of a frame. After the vicious attack, he was hospitalised for nine months.
His mother said: “This was a mindless and unprovoked act of extreme violence. I was shocked when I saw the hideous looking weapon that was used.
“I would like the producers and creators of such programmes to know the influence the content has on immature minds.
“The assault has changed our lives forever, my son is serving a life sentence and doctors have advised that he will remain disabled for the rest of his life.”
Detective Constable Derek Ellis said: “This was an act of extreme violence which was planned, orchestrated and carried out by a teenager for a somewhat trivial matter.
“His actions that night have dramatically altered the course of two young and bright promising lives, one of which was his own.
“The victim and his immediate family have had to come to terms with the consequences of that night.
“Their fight, spirit and support for each other has been nothing short of admirable”
Derby Crown Court heard they carried out their attack on November 13, 2018, in Middleton-by-Worksworth, Derbyshire, where Callis Woolsey lived. Callis Woolsey was jailed for eight years for GBH, Cullan was given 12 months for planning a robbery.
