On the coverage shown by the BBC there are children and teens in the crowd, there was also a woman with a very young child sitting on the grass area, to the left of where the police line was. What do people think this is, an afternoon at the theatre, most people would take their kids AWAY from this sort of thing not sit watching (this is how it appears) and if social services see the same they may think the same way and take the child in to care.
What parent would sit and watch a riot with a young child or take their children to these riots in the first place.

@zleap of course not those in their right mind, but that isn't the point.
criminalizing people for what amounts to "doing nothing" doesn't work.

let me rephrase:
they should leave and otherwise they'd be targeted by one of the most sinister forms of state violence, "taking kids away".
that's exactly the line of thought responsible for the political situation the west is in.
