Female gangs on the rise with more girl violence
GIRL violence has exploded across the state with an HSC student suffering multiple injuries during a savage bashing by a female gang.
Seventeen-year-old Julie-Anne Gill needed a CT scan after complaining of dizzy spells five days after the brutal attack on a Friday night out.
Kicked in the groin, the teenager also sustained a bruised pelvis, a severe black eye and ripped toenails from being dragged along the road by her assailants.
Julie-Anne should have sat an HSC trial exam on Monday - instead she was off school trying to recover from her wounds.
Yesterday, her mother Rosemary blamed slack parenting and alcohol for the 20-minute attack on her daughter as police admitted assaults were on the increase.
“They (female gangs) are hanging out in the streets, attacking at random and are not being moved on,” she said.
“There is a pack mentality - some of them (attackers) are as young as 12.
“Their numbers are too overwhelming for police. A lot of them are getting away with it . . . they are often in mobs and hard to identify. They rely on that anonymity to avoid being caught.”
