Amy Hodgkinson-Hedgecox, 38, regrets her actions during a riot outside a Tamworth hotel. Initially taking her son to a skate park on August 4, she joined a protest against asylum seekers. The unrest involved hotel damage and arson. Hodgkinson-Hedgecox received a 27-month prison sentence for violent disorder, and upon her release, she reflected on her behavior and acknowledged the misinformation that fueled her anger. She now views her actions as foolish and expresses remorse for involving her child in the chaos.
I did swear. I was just shouting to the police, like, how would you like it if your child has been videoed by them? There's a level where you should be sticking up for us as well as them.
I was frustrated, I was really frustrated. Hodgkinson-Hedgecox said she did feel concerned for the people inside the hotel when she saw a petrol bomb being lit.
