A 15-year-old girl attacked by a gang of about 20 teenagers who filmed the shopping centre assault on mobile phones says shopping centre security guards refused to help her.

The girl is too afraid of reprisals to be identified or photographed, but her furious grandmother has spoken out and demanded action against the guards at Stockland Rockhampton.

Erica Walker, who lives in North Rockhampton, says some of the gang used their mobile phones to film the assault as the young thugs took turns in delivering sickening blows to her granddaughter’s face and head.

“She ran behind a security guard for cover, but he never attempted to help her,” Erica said.

“I have made a formal complaint to the centre management and I want action against the guards who stood and allowed this to happen,” she said.
