Feb 25, 2014 - Thanks Robert for supporting the clinic in East Melbourne. ... Sudanese and Somali youth are very much over-represented in the crime ... You can be accusedof being racist or inciting trouble, but my view is you can't ignore it.

Stabbed boy's sister's foul-mouthed Facebook rant

They're talking about war in Cranbourne.
Yesterday I spoke about Ben Phillips, 14, being attacked and stabbed by a gang of 20.
He is recovering, thank god. But witnesses said the gang was mostly Sudanese.
Others say there's tensions developing in the area.
Have a listen to this. This has been posted on Facebook by Ben’s sister Jacinta. It’s been edited and has been read by a 3AW staff member.
Is this the emotion of the moment? Or are the tensions real out in Cranbourne?
The message we're getting is that the tensions are real.
I know police are concerned.
They have previously released statistics showing Sudanese and Somali youth are very much over-represented in the crime statics in that area. Not all of them of course.
This is a touchy difficult area. You can be accused of being racist or inciting trouble, but my view is you can’t ignore it. To ignore it is more dangerous.
When we have teenage kids talking about war in Cranbourne you need to act quickly and sensibly.
