[A reenactment of the crime. Please do not try this in your neighbourhood]
A concerned citizen (a school teacher) saw one child crash on their bike, and another who was partially responsible for the incident, going to ride off without parental supervision, clipped around the ear by his father and told to stay put, whilst the father tendered to the injury of the first child.
"I could see it was pretty serious, one kid potentially hurt - the other about to ride off and the father frazzled. So rather than offer to lend assistance, I thought instead it was more appropriate to call the police," said the informant, who declined to be named. "I need no further reward. Doing a Bradford is reward enough."
Six policemen turned up:

Six policemen turned up:
"Well, we considered just shooting him on the spot, but the kids were in the line of fire. Always concerned about the welfare of sprogs, we decided just to give him a dressing down and threatening to take the kids into state care. It didn't cross out mind to offer assistance.No one from the Greens, not even Sue Bradford, were prepared to say on record at this time that it was great the man had been publicly named. Neither did they point out that this was something they would like to see, and made no parallels to publishing the names of drunk drivers. Therefore, these points should not be assumed even though Sue Bradford has declared previously that such matters "prove the law is working".
As it turned out to be no big deal, putting this little incident on his permanent record seems to be an appropriate response.
His name is Mason by the way - M - A - S - O - N. Rhymes with Jason. That serial killer guy."
