Stab victim Ben's appeal to Brown
Updated on 05 July 2008
Teenage stab victim Ben Kinsella made an appeal to Gordon Brown to stamp out knife crime, it has been reported.
According to The Sun, the 16-year-old, who was stabbed to death last weekend, wrote a letter to the Prime Minister as part of his English GCSE coursework, suggesting parenting classes, curfews and youth clubs as possible solutions.
Ben reportedly accused the Government of standing by as teenagers were killed on the streets, and said violence was becoming "part of our culture".
