Mum blames Suarez after son is bitten by another child in 'copycat' incident

A mother from Wales believes Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is to blame after her son was bitten by another child at school this morning. 
Suarez was fined £300,000 by his club after digging his teeth into Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
The Uruguayan striker escaped a red card at Anfield yesterday, allowing him to remain on the pitch to score the 97th-minute equaliser against the visiting Blues. Suarez will not face criminal charges for the incident but has since been charged with violent conduct by the FA.
But now a concerned parent believes her son was the victim of a 'copycat' incident after he was bitten on the elbow while at school.

Bite club: Luis Suarez takes a chunk out of Branislav Ivanovic

She told Richard Bacon on BBC 5Live: 'I had a phone call from the school headmistress earlier this morning saying that my son had been involved in a biting incident with another child and it appears to be a copycat of the Luis Suarez incident yesterday.'
Although the mother did not know for certain whether the child, who has been suspended from the school, was copying Suarez, Bacon quizzed the caller about whether she blamed the Premier League top scorer for the incident at school.
She added: 'I think if this [Suarez biting Ivanovic] hadn't have happened yesterday then my son wouldn't have been bitten today.'

Bacon was asked whether it was fair to place some of the blame on Suarez.
She replied: 'He [Suarez] shouldn't have done what he did. He is an adult. You expect biting from children in nursery not from professional players, especially somebody with the high status that Suarez has got.
'These children are 10, 11 years old. What Luis Suarez did yestetrday, he didn't even get sent off. He may have been fined now... but when my son was bitten this morning, that other child did not know that Luis Suarez was going to get that punishment.
'So as far as this other child may perceive, Luis Suarez has bitten somebody and he's had no comeuppance for it.'
The child who was bitten sustained no serious injuries, but teachers told the mother that there would be bruising on his arm.
