⚠️ CHILD ASSAULTED IN DURACK

Yesterday afternoon, a 12 year old child was reportedly allegedly assaulted in Durack while walking home after stopping at the lakes for a fish after school.

The incident occurred near the bus stop opposite Territory True Café. The child was confronted by a group of youths who removed his backpack and searched through it, before he was slapped across the face and caught on the arm with his own fishing lure.

The child sustained a number of minor injuries and was understandably left shaken and distressed by the experience.

No child should feel unsafe walking home from school. Incidents like this are a reminder of the importance of personal safety awareness and having open conversations with our children about what to do if they ever feel unsafe.

At Kokoro Busshu Karate, our students develop confidence, resilience, situational awareness and personal safety skills that can help them navigate everyday challenges with greater confidence.

We also regularly cover personal safety topics, including stranger danger, recognising unsafe situations and what to do if something doesn't feel right.

While no training can prevent every situation, but these are important and valuable life skills that can help people recognise potential risks, make informed decisions, set boundaries and respond with greater confidence when faced with challenging or unsafe situations.

If you witnessed this incident or have any information that may assist, please contact Police as soon as possible.
