A CHILD cancer survivor who made a bigoted slur and spat at police was shown mercy by a sheriff yesterday.

In a newspaper interview at the time, Climson said:"Now I want to grow up to be a doctor, a lawyer or even a model."If I can help other children with cancer along the way, that's even better."She pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner aggravated by religious prejudice.Sheriff Tony Kelly told her at an earlier hearing that he was considering sending Climson to prison.

But, he was persuaded by her lawyer Ross Yuill to give Climson help through a female problem-solving court."With this progress, you might be persuaded away from custody and defer her to the female offenders court." Sheriff Kelly replied:"I think it would be disproportionate to impose custody as she has kept out of trouble.

"If the court imposed custody, it would wipe all of that out and increase the chances of re-offending."Climson - who had a cut on her head - was approached by PCs Brown and Ferns.Prosecutor Mark Allan said:"Out of nothing, she began to shout and swear at them and made abusive as well as sectarian remarks at them."She said 'f*** the Pope' and so on.Climson was then arrested as her behaviour continued.

Mr Allan added:"While still in Duke Street during the aftermath of the arrest, she spat at the officers.PC Ferns subsequently needed a hepatitis B injection at hospital.
