This little boy, 5, cannot laugh or smile because he suffers from a rare condition which has paralysed his facial muscles. Isaac Hughes is one of just 200 people in the UK who suffers from Moebius Syndrome, a condition with no cure, which has left him expressionless. The boy from Mold, north Wales is also unable to blink on reflex and could not walk until he was three. Expressionless: Isaac Hughes, 5, is one of just 200 people in the UK who suffers from Moebius Syndrome, a condition which meant he cannot laugh or smile and blink on reflex. Now his parents Ceridwen and Philip and uncle David Baynton-Power of 90s rock band James, are trying to raise £250,000 for the Moebius Research Trust to fund research into the condition. Mrs Hughes said: ‘The syndrome affects Isaac's ability to speak as well as smile and this causes considerable problems although he is such a happy, strong-willed, tenacious child that nothing stands in his way of telling a story, even if he can't say the actual words. ‘It can be very frustrating and every single day you come across a different challenge.’ To date there is no cure and no research has been carried out to identify a cause so there is no way of preventing it from affecting other people, she said. Isaac, a pupil at Ysgol Glanrafon in Glanrafon, Mold was diagnosed with Moebius syndrome at eight-months-old, the condition which has also affected his speech and his ability to articulate emotions through words. Hope to raise £250,000: Isaac's parents Ceridwen and Philip (pictured with Isaac left and brother Theo, 9) are trying to raise money for the Moebius Research Trust to fund research into the condition which has no cure. Mr Baynton-Power said: ‘My sister-in-law told me about the Moebius Research Trust and how it is trying to raise sufficient funds to carry out research into this very distressing condition. When I was approached by the charity to be a patron I was happy to help. ‘This is such a worthwhile cause.’ The condition can also cause hearing. difficulties, eye sensitivity due to the inability to blink or squint,. and missing limbs, fingers or toes. Moebius syndrome is present at birth and affects some cranial nerves, leaving sufferers unable to move their faces. Some symptoms can be treated with the right therapy and surgery. The condition is named after Paul Julius Möbius, a German neurologist who first described the syndrome in 1888.

Problem: By. Nadia Gilani. Last updated at 12:20 PM on 23rd November 2011. The father of Britain's youngest. rioter took the 12-year-old out to steal fruit machines two months after. the child was arrested for looting, a court heard. The boy, who was just 11 when he. stole a £50 bin in the riots, was helping his heroin addict father get. money for a fix to stop him being violent, the court heard. He had been spared jail for stealing the bin but six days later on September 6 he stole a bottle of Coke from a supermarket. Burglary: The boy and his father stole three fruit machines containing £2,500 from the pub (pictured) in Romford. And Redbridge Youth Court heard yesterday that after being released on bail for that offence the boy was caught on CCTV stealing three fruit machines containing £2,500 from a pub in Romford on November 16, accompanied by his father. Prosecutor Alex Mattic said the images show the boy handing rocks to his father, who uses them to smash the windows of Yates' Wine Lodge in South Street, Romford. 'CCTV shows him handing rocks to his father who throws them through the windows,' he told the court. 'The burglary takes place. They are seen wheeling out fruit machines, which are then taken away on a van.' The boy, who pleaded guilty to the burglary on November 19, was arrested at home and taken into secure custody for the first time. 'His father is a heroin addict and. continuing to use heroin. His father gets violent towards him. For him,. the best way to help his father is to get him some money to get a fix' He had been given an 18-month youth rehabilitation order after taking part in the riots, and was already under a previous 'referral order' for offences of arson, criminal damage and carrying a pointed instrument. Vicky Thompson, defending, said the boy had had a 'wake-up call' after being taken into custody.  The court heard he idolises his dad, who is on remand. 'He is by no means perfect but there is a lot going on in his life. It was his father who took the 12-year-old out to commit this burglary. 'His father is a heroin addict and continuing to use heroin. His father gets violent towards him. For him, the best way to help his father is to get him some money to get a fix. 'He idolises his father for all the wrong reasons. All of his offences have happened during a time when he is in contact with his dad. 'The burglary was when he was on his way home from his father's house. The arson was also when he was on his way back from his father's house. 'He can't deal with the emotions of this difficult relationship.  'His father is a man who has been in and out of trouble for a number of years but hasn't had any real custodial sentence. In [the boy's] mind, he hasn't had any real appreciation of what the impact of the court can be. 'He has had a real wake-up call these last couple of days.' The court heard the boys mother has been trying to get a High Court order to prevent his father from contacting him. The case was adjourned until December 7 for pre-sentence reports to be prepared. His bail conditions ban him from seeing his father. Addressing the 12-year-old, chair of the bench John Dring said: 'You've been in a place you don't like. You know what to do. 'At 12 years old you shouldn't be hard. The bench can see you're not a hard boy and it says that's good. Look at your family behind you.' The boy said: 'I'm really sorry for what I've done. I know I'm making my family really upset.' Granting him bail, Mr Dring added: "If you commit another offence you will go straight into secure accommodation. Your future depends on this, the love between you and your mother depends on this. You have a lot to do.'
