A BOY who lost his brother and mother in the Queensland floods was bashed by a mob of teenagers because they saw him on TV.

Flood victim Blake Rice, who was saved when his brother Jordan insisted a rescuer take him first, suffered a broken collarbone in the attack.

The teenage boys allegedly set up a page on Facebook called "We Bashed Blake Rice", which has since been removed.

Blake's brother Jordan, 13, died along with his mother Donna Rice, 43, when their car was swept away on January 10 during flash flooding in Toowoomba.

The teenage attackers assaulted the boy because they recognised him from media reports, The Australian reports.

Blake met with Prime Minister Julia Gillard this week, who was touring the devastated towns, with Ms Gillard describing the attack as a "low act".

"It's impossible to imagine what he's gone through already and it's harder still to imagine a lower act than this," Ms Gillard told The Australian.
