"Jai was just a gentle little guy. He wasn't a fighter.''

Jai's older brother, Mayo, flew home on Friday night from the NSW ski-fields where he works, to join his devastated parents and sisters, Kyra, 26, and Jade, 22.

A Year 9 student said the fight was between two school gangs. The student said: "One of the gangs stole a seat from our eating area. We stole it back and it turned into an all-out brawl (and) the teachers did nothing''.

The student alleged Jai had been beaten to a pulp and ``it was really scary and intense. It was completely out of control''.

A school nurse gave first aid until paramedics arrived, but witnesses said Jai was frothing at the mouth and non-responsive.

Forensic detectives, NSW and Queensland police have been called in to investigate and are preparing a brief for the coroner.

god bless them
something seriously wrong when something like that happens

OMG I pray for them!

How sad it is! How sad it could get? A school should be a place of safety, security and of a comfort zone for the peace of mind of the parents and not that of a war-zone like it is fast becoming these days...

Well i guess it would not surprise me if it was in large part a reflection of the parents, or parenting, or lack of it. But if it's true that the teachers stood by....
Very sad.
