  "account": "A 14-year-old boy has turned himself in to West Midlands Police after a video surfaced on social media, allegedly showing a fan taunting Sunderland with a photo of Bradley Lowery during Saturday's Premier League match. Bradley Lowery, a Sunderland fan, passed away in 2017 at the age of six from a rare form of childhood cancer called neuroblastoma. Coventry City is currently investigating the video footage. The boy's mother, Gemma Lowery, released a statement through the Bradley Lowery Foundation, which raises funds and awareness for children with cancer. West Midlands Police have confirmed an investigation is underway. They expressed empathy for the upset caused by the video to both the community and the victim's family. Coventry City stated that they do not tolerate offensive behavior and will cooperate with the relevant authorities. Gemma Lowery expressed her heartbreak over the incident, emphasizing that Bradley deserved to be remembered with love, not hate. She also highlighted that Bradley's short life was characterized by battling cancer and enduring treatments that no child should face. The mother of the 14-year-old boy confirmed that he handed himself into the police and would be questioned in due course. The police are working closely with both football clubs to address the matter.",
