Luke Batty should have been celebrating his 15th birthday this week.
Luke was just 11 when he was killed by his own father, who beat him to death with a cricket bat.
Since his death, Luke’s mother, Rosie Batty, has dedicated her life to a campaign against domestic violence in the hope that no other family has to go through what she has. This week she paid tribute to her son in a touching Facebook post via the Luke Batty Foundation page.
“Happy birthday to my beautiful Luke,” she wrote. “We all miss you so much. I am celebrating you today. There’s an entire community campaigning for change in your memory. We’ve achieved a lot since we started Never Alone two years ago to this day. I know you’d be really proud of us.
“From Mum.”
The Luke Batty Foundation aims to deepen the understanding of family and domestic violence, among all Australians, in order to make system changes.
