Two Quebec boys, 3 and 5, victims of alleged playground beating by other kids
MANAWAN, Que. — A three-year-old boy and his five-year-old brother from a First Nations community in Quebec were recovering Friday after allegedly being beaten by a group of other children.
Chief Constant Awashish of the Atikamekw Nation said the boys were allegedly attacked by some older children on a playground in Manawan earlier this week.
“Two little boys were jumped by two or three other little boys, a little older than the victims,” he said in a phone interview.
He said both boys were airlifted to hospital after a family member stopped the incident and called emergency services.
