Ava White's mum is demanding that children as young as 12 be searched for knives.
Ava, 12, was killed by a boy just two years older than her after an argument over a video posted on Snapchat in November 2021. The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was jailed for 13 years after stabbing the schoolgirl in the neck with a flick knife in Liverpool City Centre.
On Wednesday, April 19, Merseyside Police became one of four forces starting a two-year trial of new Serious Violence Reduction Orders (SVROs) to search over-18s previously convicted of carrying a blade, MirrorOnline reports.
