One video shows two teenage girls punching each other as their friends cheer them on; another shows a teenager having her hair pulled.
A third video shows a few more girls fighting on the grass as a crowd watches, taking videos on their phones and laughing.
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Gavin Wood denounced the disgusting behavior and called out the parents caught watching the fighting.
“In terms of using social media platforms, these trends go beyond stupidity and recklessness, these acts are crimes,” he said. The Daily Telegraph.
“Filming yourself committing a crime and posting the video online is a surefire way to get arrested.”
Assistant Commissioner Gavin Wood explained that the fighting appeared to be not just a police issue, but a community one as well.
“Everyone has to take their responsibility and agree…in keeping with the old adage, ‘It takes a village to raise a child’…that’s what I’m talking about,” he said.
Terrified locals have taken matters into their own hands, tracking criminal behavior on the local Facebook page Casino Crime Reports.
Stephen Morrissey, deputy mayor of Richmond Valley Council, said his city had a problem with juvenile delinquency and the problem was getting “worse.”
Mr Morrissey claimed the matter has spiraled out of control since major floods hit the area and nearby Lismore in 2022.
Catastrophic flooding swept northern NSW in February and a second time in March last year.
Thousands of residents were left homeless, while the eventual insurance loss was estimated at $5.7 billion, making it the costliest disaster in Australian history.
Longtime residents, who wished to remain anonymous, said their beautiful city had been taken over by violent teenagers.
