Just shocking that a 12yr old would even think to do things like this. Our children are exposed to way too much.

If the parents still insist on going for a holiday the boy should be placed in remand. They committed “adult” crimes.

I can’t believe that one of the boys were granted bail and told he didn’t have to appear at the next court date just so he could go on a family holiday. Why should he be allowed to go off and have fun. Where is the punishment in that.

I agree, what the heck – the little monster is going on a Queensland holiday???

Reward bad and criminal behaviour with a Qld holiday? What? I really hope the Justice Department gets this right. We’re all watching.

Hope justice will be done !
I have a bit of a hard time with the request that the communityvrespects the privacy of those involved. For the girl yes, but respecting the privacy of the boys who committed the crime ?? Where did they tespect the privacy of the girl involved, what respect is that ??

“The offences are believed to have taken place over three separate occasions between June 24 and August 16.” Must admit I never knew this piece of information.

Why is this —-allowed to go on a holiday and just what sort of court justice is happening here. ?
Seriously these boys should be locked away.

Just heartbreaking.

Hopefully more information will be forthcoming about this case at a later stage.

Well if they’re like this now there’s not much hope for these mongrels when they’re adults!! Slap on the wrist then back on the streets!! At 12 this is disgusting where did they get this horrendous idea?!! No doubt this isn’t the last we hear about these children they’re parents should be ashamed not taking them on holiday!! Throw them away along with the key !

Send in the bikies to deal with the boys and their parents. Love the Police respect their privacy. Are they are wealthy family and the matter hushed up.
They are old enough to commit this vile crime and old enough to be named.
Should not have been allowed to go on a holiday but put into an institution and mum and dad charged with neglect and also serve a gaol term. Hope the girls family do not fall for being told to hush things up.

So the parents are rewarding the son with a Queensland holiday???? What are the parents thinking. This poor girl has gone through enough and they vary the date so he can have a holiday. How disgusting is this. Im disgusted that the parents even considering going on a holiday when they should think of what their son has done to the life of the girl. And what if he does something while away. Disgusted and feel sorry for the girl.

wow what a punishment, a queensland holiday and excused from attending court, he is really going to learn a lesson isn’t he

This is a disgusting story the parents are to blame here where does two 12 year old boy’s get an idea to rape a poor innocent girl they should not of got bail at all they have to pay for what they did start away as the girl is all l have to say is thank God it wasn’t my daughter

I am aware that 12 year olds can be sexually active – but they don’t normally rape. This is a horrible case and I hope the correct actions will be put in place.

This is disgraceful. How do they learn these things at such a young age. I hope the young girl gets all the support she needs and these boys are dealt with appropriately.

Children hurting other children in this manner is just disgraceful.

The headline made me sick to my stomach. I just can’t understand how or WHY this occurs. What is wrong with our children/young boys that they a) have any idea to do this; b) know how to do this; and c) think it’s ok to do this. That poor child/girl and her family. My heart breaks for them.

Poor little girl! How sad, i hope they crack down and provide more security at school to keep kids safe

These stories are becoming so much more regular now it makes my heart ache for the kids of today. What world will they be living in as adults 🙁
