[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 200439, member: 1991"] I just found a slightly better link - good old Aunty ABC (our government funded network). [url]http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/10/02/2380197.htm[/url] On this site there is a good audio link to the news story I heard on national radio the other day. There is much more detail in the audio link. In stories which say "the boy was not known at the zoo", they mean he wasn't involved in any previous incidents. There has been a previous incident where Terry the croc got attacked by a group of teen thugs. I can vouch for kids under 10 not being able to be charged - it's not just NT. When difficult child 3 was attacked last year all his attackers were under 10 years old and so no charges could be laid. However, their names are on file with the police and if they put a foot wrong once they're over 10 years old, they will less likely to just get a warning. I'll keep you posted. Marg [/QUOTE]
