A mother from Saddleworth is advocating for a public inquiry into The Scouts following the death of her son, 11-year-old Scott Fanning, during a camping trip in Heywood in 1998. The Scouts have responded by stating they've updated their risk assessments and safety procedures since the incident. In a separate but similarly tragic incident, a 16-year-old boy has been charged with reckless homicide following a crash on Chicago's West Side that resulted in the death of a 6-month-old boy and serious injuries to his mother in April 2023. The teen's charge specifically relates to reckless homicide with a motor vehicle, according to Chicago police.
Two years ago, 16-year-old Dhungutti boy Jai Kalani Wright died after a collision with an unmarked police car. A NSW police officer is now facing criminal charges. Jai's family is determined to seek out the truth. https://t.co/9uUBLSwtya
