This is heartbreaking... what kind of kids are we raising when they think it is ok to make practical jokes like this.. I bet the young victim isn't laughing at this joke... 

These kids that did this attack need to be taken out the back of a police station and given a good old fashioned hiding before going to jail for a very very very long time... And their parents need to be forced to pay compensation to this young man forever... X-(

The news last night stated that the uninjured boys involved aren't interested in talking  to police.

What they are actually saying is that none of the boys are talking. The only people who appear to be talking are the family of the aspergers boy. And what they are saying contradicts with what little the boy himself has said.

Maybe there is nothng to tell other than what has been already established by the police?

I can't really follow the article. One minute it sounds like they are quoting the injured boy and then later it seems they weren't? It states 3 other boys were injured too? 

Awful thing to happen to any child. 😞

I got logged out while replying - is that common nowadays?

No. What I heard was those involved and not in hospital were not cooperating with the police.

nev - as I said earlier, the whole thing is being handled in a very tabloid way. It's a bit difficult to understand who said what. Even in the short article posted earlier, it says the golf ball exploded when the boy picked it up. Then the next sentence says it was thrown at him.

And the only official statement (ie not from the boy, or family, or neighbours, or the Mayor) has come from the police who said that as far as they are concerned, it wasn't a deliberate act.

I don't know all the details about this particular incident.It is horrible .

 I've been reading the reactions (from adults) to the NDIS 

 I can't help think that it wouldn't be unexpected if some youths of today had similar attitudes to those expressed publicly by adults .
