FULL TITLE: Olympic ambassador 'hurled bricks at police car' and led attack on Vodafone store during riots - and was shopped to police by her mum

An Olympics ambassador allegedly hurled bricks at a police car and led an attack on a mobile phone store during the riots.

Chelsea Ives, 18, was today revealed as a riot suspect - after being reported to police by her mother.

She was filmed by the BBC allegedly throwing bricks at a police car during violent disturbances in Enfield on Sunday night.

She was seen on the nightly news by her mother Adrienne, 47, who immediately called the police.

Westminster magistrates' court heard that police had to abandon their BMW in the 'frenzied' attack. Ives, described by her lawyer as a 'talented sportswoman', is alleged to have boasted later that she had had 'the best day ever', magistrates heard.

She denied two counts of burglary, violent disorder and attacking a police car. Ives was refused bail until August 17 when she will appear at Highbury Corner magistrates' court. Prosecutor Becky Owen said Ives had also led an attack on a Vodafone store.

'She was first to pick up masonry and hurl it at the window,' she said.

She said that Ives was also involved in a mob attack on Phones4U.

In 2009, Ives was invited into the House of Commons to celebrate the success of a football project run by Leyton Orient Community Sport Programme, She has met Boris Johnson and London Olympics chief Sebastian Coe.

Her mother told the Evening Standard that the decision to call the police about her daughter was 'gut wrenching'.

Another person of color who hates the very white civilization that gave her FAR more than she deserves.”””

Time for all of us to realize just how basic this violence against white really is.

How can London ever stand a chance to host the Olympics within a year????

“She was seen on the nightly news by her mother Adrienne, 47, who immediately called the police.”

Wow, what a mom. It’s great that she is so civic-minded, but it’s going to be a chilly Christmas dinner this year, I expect.

“And that’s why she’s an Olympic ambassador.”

She’s welcome to spread some goodwill my way, when she gets out of the clink!

Mine wouldn’t have left the house in the first place. If she insisted, and could actually make it there, she would’ve had a black eye and a limp when throwing the first brick.

Or she would have received what a lot of kids got when growing up (in the South), the obligatory beat you all the way home from the playground with switches in front of your friends (and that was for being fifteen or thirty minutes late home from school). Guess what?, those kids were never late again and were quick to tell their buddies no way the next time.

You’d be under jail for that now. But that was the age of teachers and paddles. The age of the grapevine being faster than your walking and several beratings from neighbors (who knew you were better than the bad kids, were ashamed of you... after the interrogation), then had to wait till your father got home. LOL, wait a minute, maybe youth wasn’t so wonderful after all.

She’s 18. She wants to act like a criminal, there’s nothing like a night or two in jail to help her decide if this is a lifestyle that she wants to pursue.

Calling the police was the right choice in this instance of an adult child.

I hear you. Had I done something so stupid at 18, I would have called the police myself just to get away from the wrath of my parents.....or as my dad would always said..”boy, you do ‘such and such’ and I’ll beat the white off you.” Dad and Mom had full control of their five boys growing up.

Kudos to the mom in this story.
