Dad eggs on son to target houses - then clean up after

'In my eyes I'm doing the right thing'

IN a country where violent crime is on the rise, it’s only natural for a parent to want to keep their child out of trouble.

Whether it’s encouraging them to take up a sport, an instrument or new videogame, how far would you go to stop your little one from mixing with the wrong crowd?

There’s one Oldham dad who believes he’s found the perfect way to keep his son off the streets – by encouraging him to egg other people’s houses.

Jason Knight recently found viral fame on TikTok by posting videos of his six-year-old son Jack pelting eggs at homes around the Limetree area.

The 29-year-old insists the pranks are harmless fun and the pair always return to the properties the following day to clean up the mess they made.
