Info on his ASBO, aged 14, from that link:
______________
The family, who are one generation removed from travellers, were divided by the ASBOs. Forced to move away from the area, the boys were unable to maintain contact with those relatives who still lived in Beswick.
But Superintendent Dave Thompson, of Grey Mare Lane police station in the heart of the estate, disagreed with Crossley in 2002. He said since the orders were introduced, crime had dropped by a third and burglaries by half.
Takings at the local supermarket increased by £14,000 a week after the ASBO. He said there had been a perception that the McCanns were "untouchable".
In the McCanns' case, there was no attempt at mediation and no attempt to solve their problems prior to the use of the ASBO.
They attempted to persuade the European courts, in 2002, to overturn the order banning them from returning to Beswick.
Since the original ASBO, the boys appealed to the Crown Court, the Divisional Court, the Court of appeal and the House of Lords. They were unsuccessful in their bids.

Born in February 1985, the son of a Scottish builder and a mum who had links to travelling communities, Joseph McCann had a fierce temper and struggled to contain his anger.
His first conviction was when he was just 13 and was for theft.
After being banned from Beswick, the family moved south to Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and Middlesex.
McCann went off the rails in April 2019 when his younger brother, Michael, 32, was jailed for stealing handbags from pensioners and vulnerable women.
His older brother, Sean, died three years ago in Peterborough Prison, after taking his own life, while serving two years for assault.
After his ASBO at 14, Joseph McCann was jailed nine years later for bursting into the home of an 85-year-old man in Bedford in 2008 and threatening him with a knife.
He was convicted of aggravated burglary.
In August 2017, he was arrested for burglary and theft and given a three-and-a-half year prison sentence. The halfway point of this sentence was reached in February 2019, when he was automatically released.
However, he should have been returned to prison under the terms of his licence for the 2008 conviction, the Ministry of Justice later admitted, following an internal inquiry.
