Callum’s mum speaks out as youths, including an 11-year-old, face court over alleged Logan attack

A schoolboy left with a fractured skull and hearing loss is facing months of recovery, as the four boys accused of the attack face court and his mother speaks out about the devastating consequences for her son.

Callum, 14, was riding his e-scooter home from school in Kingston, Logan , on August 14 when police allege he was lured towards a group of youths before being punched, kicked and stomped until he lay unconscious on the footpath.

Confronting footage shared by a 13-year-old girl who allegedly steered him to the group of boys appears to show the teenager being knocked to the ground and the group surrounding and attacking him.

One boy appears to stomp on Callum’s head as he lies motionless on the ground.

The attack left the teenager with a fractured skull and hearing loss in one ear, which doctors believe could be permanent.

Callum’s mother has told 7NEWS exclusively about the reality her family is facing.

She said doctors have told Callum not to return to school or play sport while his skull heals, as his condition is too fragile.

“He’s told that if he gets hit in the head, it could cause a brain bleed and it could be fatal, how do you even process that?” she said.

His mother is pressing for the charges to be upgraded to attempted murder, to reflect the potential consequences for her son.

The 13-year-old Yarrabilba girl who allegedly pointed Callum towards the group before the attack has been dealt with under the Youth Justice Act in relation to filming the assault.

The boys accused have been charged with eight counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and one count of grievous bodily harm

“He could be permanently disabled, that’s still not out of the picture now, and you just get GBH,” she said.

The boys appeared in Beenleigh Children’s Court on Monday and were granted bail under strict conditions.
