THESE are the distressing and disturbing images, which should shock every parent. Boys and girls, as young as 14, are being involved in ugly, violent schoolyard brawls.


Police are investigating fights between teens from Kempsey High School after 14 fighting clips were uploaded on the internet last week.

The footage, since pulled down from YouTube, shows high school students cheering on female and male kids brutally attacking each other.

Wild punches, kicking and hair-pulling is all part of the no-holds barred brawling.

Kempsey Police Inspector, Michael Aldridge said he is currently working with various groups to identify the people in the shocking videos.

“We are aware of it. The Kempsey fights are being shot from Kempsey high school students who are engaging in fighting,” he said.

“Ourselves with the school, the school liaison, police youth liaison officer and the safety command response unit have all come together and we are reviewing and identifying who is in the videos. We have been working with the school along with other various units, we are going to break down who it is and from there we are going to take whatever action we can in line with the school.”

Inspector Aldridge said the fights were uploaded to YouTube on June 5, but may have occurred in the past year.

The fights occur in school grounds with classrooms and teachers in sight and on soccer fields and parks. Each clip lasts between 14 and 40 seconds.

Kempsey High School principal, Mick Eller said he has seen one of the clips. “There were 21 clips but I have only viewed one of them,” he said.

Mr Eller said some of the clips are of fights that happened last year and students have been disciplined. He did not reveal how many students had been suspended or reprimanded by police.

“School students from Kempsey High . . . have been dealt with at the school level, some have involved police, some haven’t,” Mr Eller said, adding the school has implemented counselling and mediation to curb the violence.
