Captured on video?

The father of eight-year-old Jesse Cox has claimed that a group of teenagers has been captured on camera assaulting his son at Umina oval, despite police concluding that the incident only involved a seven-year-old.

"A young man and lady, who wish to remain anonymous, brought my son home and saw the incident themselves," father Mr Adam Webster said.

He said the bashing was captured on video camera by a person at the park, but police had been unable to obtain a copy of the footage which purportedly showed a large group of youths bashing the boy.

Police have concluded that the beating at Umina Skate Park was administered by a seven-year-old child, and would investigate no further.
