Mum Jade Scott had taken her two children Lilly Romain, seven, and three-year-old Ralph Cavalli to the chicken restaurant for a treat.

She said after Lilly took her little brother to the toilet, she heard a row erupting from the toilet and went to investigate. Jade claims that the older girl, who they did not know, had punched Ralph and then drop-kicked him in the face.

I was so angry at first, then I began to cry because I just couldn't understand why someone would do that to my little boy.

It made me feel degraded to be honest and that I failed him as a mum and let someone violently abuse him.
