Police report that two teenagers have been reported after a children’s “fight club” is linked to videos shared on social media. Officers are investigating the incidents and searching for four other youths believed to be involved. The reports describe an organised activity in which participants film confrontations or fights, with footage posted online and later drawing public attention. Authorities are treating the matter as a serious concern and are assessing the conduct under relevant laws. The reports also indicate possible consideration of law changes, prompted by community outrage and the need to address how such content and behaviour are handled when harm may occur and when minors are involved. Police have not stated charges in the available accounts and say inquiries continue as they identify individuals connected to the videos and determine the circumstances surrounding the events. The two teens who are reported are part of the group of alleged participants, while the four others are still being located as part of the investigation.
