Kailem's mother Jill has now issued a heartbreaking tribute to her 'baby', who she said 'always had a passion for bikes'. "Kailem was someone who was always polite; he was popular with everyone and would do anything to help people out," she said. "He had a cheeky smile and infectious laugh and was known as the class clown in school, always making everyone laugh. "He always had a passion for his bikes from a young age and would help other kids on the street fixing theirs. He was very lovable with me, always telling me he loved me. "The news has shocked the community. He was so loved by everyone, including his teachers and friends. Kailem was the best uncle to his nieces." Following the crash, tributes and flowers were place at the scene of the crash by friends and family. People living nearby later complained of trouble as youths blocked roads and graffitied walls in tribute to the teenagers. The boys' families pleaded for calm, saying there were 'grateful' for the tributes, but didn't want trouble in the area. Jill said the community had 'railled round' her, taking her flowers and shopping and raising money for the family. "I would like to thank the community of Lower Broughton for their support, from both those who knew Kailem and those who didn't," she added. "Everyone has rallied round to help with donations, flowers and a Go Fund Me page to help with the funeral. Kailem's friends have been amazing, bringing shopping round and just being here trying to comfort me and give me some normality. "Kailem will be missed by everyone, the reaction from the community has shown how loved he was by everyone who knew him. "My life will never be the same again, he was my baby. I miss you son." After the crash, the 24-year-old female driver of the Vauxhall 'stayed at the scene to assist officers', GMP said. No arrests have been made and 'the families of both victims are being supported by specialist officers as our investigation into the incident continues', the force added. Kaine's mother Danielle Hughes earlier paid tribute to a 'loving, caring, funny and genuine son, brother and friend', who she said she will 'miss so much'. "As your mum, I had a bad feeling about this day, but you made your own decisions. I wish you didn't on this day, but if you're happy son, then so am I," she added. Danielle spoke out to condemn the behaviour of those who remained at the scene with incidents of vandalism and spray painting. "I don't condone the behaviour that has been going on at the scene since the accident - the spray-painting, vandalism and motorbikes riding round," she said. "This is not what Kaine would have wanted. We want peace and to remember Kaine calmly, surrounded by his loved ones."
