THE APOLOGY: Mum shares grovelling message saying sorry for the behaviour of her sons
I know what had happened and it is not acceptable.
I'm very sad and ashamed that my boys would do this and it will be being sorted.
You would appreciate the rest of the family being left out of it and for the hate comments to stop.
I am a caring normal loving mum and they are my sons and I'm broken enough!
They will be dealt with as will the situation.
These sort of things happen every day and all get to easily forgotten but never do you think it's going to be something to do with your family !!
I'm very sorry on behalf of my boys.

In the video, one boy can be seen launching a flurry of punches on the worker as the other held him steady in a bid to stop him from wriggling free.
One person who watched the fight said: “The young lads wanted a fight from the beginning – they were being really stupid and were shouting and swearing at the workers.
"The two lads who were fighting were drunk. One of the boys was trying to lock one member of staff in the toilets.
“The manager told a member of staff to go over and tell them to leave and then it all just went off.

“There were ten-year-olds there with their parents – anyone who stepped in was going to get a beating.”
After the employee successfully got the two men out of the restaurant, the eyewitness said they came back two more times to attack the staff member.
Footage of the shocking incident has been shared online, with people praising the professionalism of the staff member while pouring scorn on the actions of the men.
Police are said to have arrived at the restaurant shortly after the incident.
They said: "At 11.10pm on Tuesday, August 7, officers were called to reports of a fight between four men in McDonald's on Queen Street in Boston.
"On arrival officers found that one staff member had been involved and the other men had left the area, a search was carried out for them but they could not be traced."
