Jenny Thomson
A FORMER teenage tearaway who now spends her time helping others has told how an Asbo changed her life. Jenny Thomson, from Rochdale, was 16 when she was given the order in 2004 after drunkenly attacking strangers, vandalising public gardens and hurling racial abuse at people. But two years on she now dedicates herself to helping others through community volunteering schemes- and she credits magistrates for putting her on the right track."
