Boy, 10, critical after being pinned to a wall by a car in Kurunjang on school strike day
Here's a kid fighting for his life at the Royal Children's after a tragic accident, and the Herald Sun, in their ever-so-fine judgement of good taste, decide to pin the accident on the teacher's strike.
Absolutely reprehensible in my opinion.
I'm not a teacher but I'm boycotting the Herald Sun until they issue an apology to each and every teacher in this state, whether they attended today's rallies or not.
A 10-YEAR-OLD at home because of the teacher's strike is fighting for his life in hospital after a car he was washing lurched forward, pinning him against a garage wall.
..The boy, from Kurunjang in Melbourne’s outer western suburbs, was washing the family car his older brother when the accident occurred at 10am.
A neighbour who heard screaming coming from the house helped move the car pinning the boy against the rear wall and called 000.
It is not known if the boys were home alone at the time of the incident, but his mother was visibly distressed outside the house this morning.
An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said the child had gone into cardiac arrest and was unconscious when paramedics arrived and spent an hour stabilising him.
The boy was flown to the Royal Children’s Hospital where he remains in a critical condition.
Victoria Police attended the scene but it is unlikely any charges will be laid.
The brothers go to Kurunjang Primary School.
About 10,500 teachers went on strike today over a lack of pay rises.
The one-day strike closed about 150 of the 1500 state schools in Victoria
