“It’s just soul-destroying when you see your child covered in blood and hurting and crying,” Lyncon’s mother Julie Owen told Seven News.

Lyncon’s father Gavin Owen wants the parents of the boys involved to be held accountable.

“I want the parents to be accountable as well and be aware of what their kids are doing,” Mr Owen said.

“It was sheer violence.”

The incident has been reported to police.
