Two West Australian boys who allegedly sexually abused a nine-year-old boy are no longer attending school while the education minister looks into options for continuing their learning.
The mother of the boy has expressed outrage his alleged abusers, aged 12 and 17, have been allowed to continue going to school, although it is not the same school her son attends.
New Education Minister Sue Ellery agreed it was unacceptable.
“There are ways to provide those children with an education outside the school environment,” she told 6PR radio on Tuesday.
Ms Ellery said the two boys did not attend a public school so she would discuss the case with non-government school providers and would also look at protocols for addressing such situations in future.
Catholic Education WA said it did not comment publicly on matters regarding individual students, in the interests of child safety and child protection.
