Mario Balotelli 'takes truant boy back to school and gives bullies ticking off'

The youngster was hanging around outside City's Carrington training ground and asked the maverick striker for his autograph, but Balotelli was more interested in why the little scamp was wagging school.

After the child told him he was being bullied, Balotelli immediately drove the boy and his mother to the school in question to give the bully a ticking off.
The Italian international then demanded to see the headmaster to make him aware of the issue, and even mediated as the two boys were sat down to resolve their differences.
A source is quoted by one paper as saying: 'Mario feels strongly about bullying and thinks it's out of order.
'He had no qualms about sorting the mess out as he felt the lad should not be missing out on school.'
Despite courting controversy on and off the pitch throughout his first season in the Premier League, Balotelli has occasionally displayed something of a Good Samaritan streak

The controversial star pocketed a cool £25,000 while gambling in Manchester's 235 Casino and was keen to share his winnings with someone less fortunate, according to the Sun.

After a big casino win, Mario Balotelli gave a homeless man £1,000 (PA).
A source told the newspaper: 'There's a guy he always sees around town with ginger dreadlocks and a beard. He carries his possessions in two carrier bags.
'He was outside the club in the early hours so Mario handed him a wad of notes after his big win. The tramp couldn't believe his luck. It was enough to keep him going for months.'
In contrast to the bad-boy persona Balotelli has developed through strops, tantrums, insults and red cards since his £24 million move from Inter Milan last summer, it seems that this kind of behaviour is typical of the 20-year-old Italian.
'Mario is really generous. He always hands £20 notes to the Big Issue boys without even taking the magazine,' the source added.
Although Balotelli may be a good Samaritan as far as Manchester's homeless community is concerned, it seems some of the city's nightclub staff see him slightly differently.
Earlier this month, the same paper reported that the City striker had his Maserati car attacked by bouncers he had 'tormented' outside a lap-dancing club.
