A judge blasted the mum of a reckless teenager who climbed on a house roof following a high-speed police chase after she insisted: 'He's a good kid'.
The woman was ordered to appear before the Honorary Recorder of Liverpool, Judge Clement Goldstone QC at Liverpool Crown Court to explain the 16-year-old's behaviour before he was sentenced.
The judge demanded to know why the teenager had an 'appalling' school attendance and asked her: 'What do you think you might have failed to do as his mum that's landed him in the mess he's in now?'

Judge Goldstone said he faced a 'stark choice' over whether to send the boy back to a young offenders' institution or allow him to return home under supervision, the Liverpool Echo reported.
The teenager - who cannot be named for legal reasons - admitted being a passenger in a vehicle taken without the owner's consent.
Together with Jamie Carr, 20, he was involved in two high-speed chases with police on May 4 and 8, the first involving an Audi A1 taken from We Buy Any Car's depot in Great Howard Street, Vauxhall on May 4.
Eight vehicles were taken but none of the culprits were identified.
Carr and the teen were detained in Tynwald Hill Road, Tuebrook after climbing on top of a house.
They spent 13 hours on the roof, refusing to come down until 11am on May 9 and witnesses said bricks and tiles were thrown down into the street below.

The woman told Judge Goldstone: 'He normally lives with me. It's just me and him. He's a good kid.'
When the judge questioned her view of her son, she insisted: 'He's a good kid to me. He got involved with the wrong crowd.'
She said she had 'supported him, loved him' when asked what she had done to give him a stable upbringing.
But Judge Goldstone said: 'Do you not understand why you are here? I have to decide whether he has a better chance of growing up as a law abiding young man in a young offenders' institution than he is growing up with you.
'That is the stark choice I have to make and you're standing there saying he is a good kid?
'Have you seen the number of times he's been in trouble? Perhaps you'd like to think again.'
Judge Goldstone went on to question the teenager's school record and asked the mum why she was given a four-week electronically monitored curfew for not sending him to school.
She said: 'I don't know. It's not my fault. I've tried my best with him.'
Judge Goldstone said there had been 'plenty of occasions where his behavioural problems have been nothing to do with other people apart from his relationship with you' - but the mum insisted she had a good relationship with her son.
She said spending time in a young offenders' institution since his arrest had changed him.

She said: 'I will make him do what he's got to do and I will do what I've got to do to keep him out of trouble.
'His attitude has changed since he's been in detention and he's saying he wants to go to college and change. He liked construction, he was also good at maths.'
The teenager's dad was not in court and the hearing was told his parents are not together.
Judge Goldstone said he wanted to give the teenager a chance, and sentenced him to a two year youth rehabilitation order and six month 7pm-7am curfew.
He must also see Judge Goldstone with his youth offender manager every month - which the judge said would be extended to every two months and then three 'if you are improved in your behaviour and attitude'.
He told the teenager: 'If you get a bit fed up staring at your own four walls you will have a chance to think that you might be staring at the four walls of a prison cell.'
Jamie Carr, of no fixed abode but previously from Anfield, admitted three counts of aggravated vehicle taking - involving being carried, dangerous driving and driving while disqualified - plus driving without insurance and criminal damage.
Last week he was jailed for 18 months and banned from the road for two years and nine months.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
