I REFER to your report of a court case - 'Teenager wields knife at school' (LET, March 13) - in which a 15-year-old was said to have chased pupils with a machete-type knife and admitted other offences, including threatening to kill a social worker.
The most disturbing thing about the story is that you can't name the attacker for legal reasons.
Surely, it's high time this rule was changed, if only to give the rest of us the opportunity of avoiding such a dangerous individual.
