Two teenagers just got sentenced in Perth Children's Court for their part in a wild stabbing at Ellenbrook's Secondary College last December. A group of armed kids crashed the school grounds right after the final bell, packing knives, axes, and batons, all to target one student in what? Turned out to be a twisted social media game between rival crews. The attack was straight up planned online through Snapchat, where these groups racked up points for pulling off crimes on each other. Twelve used total face charges, with his crew chasing down the victim and leaving him with a stab to the arm and cuts on his head that needed. Stitches. The judge didn't hold back, calling the whole thing outrageous and saying it terrorized the entire school community. She stressed how lucky they were that it didn't end way worse, like serious injury or worse, and hammered home that schools can have this kind of. Fear running through them. The 14-year-old, who also had a separate sword chase incident, copped eight months in detention, eligible for release after half served.
His 17-year-old partner got a conditional release order with supervision, and he even smirked for the cameras on his way out. Meanwhile, the other 10 kids involved are still facing court, reminding us how these online beasts can spill into real violence that hits kids where. They're supposed to feel safe. That wrapped Sydney News today brought to you with AI.
