THE brother of the Queensland flood hero Jordan Rice has been bullied and bashed by other youths apparently because of the media attention his family has received after the disaster.

Ten-year-old Blake Rice's mother, Donna, and brother, Jordan, were swept to their deaths in the flash flood that swamped Toowoomba on January 10. Jordan, 13, was hailed a hero after he told rescuers to save his brother first.

Blake's father, John Tyson, told the general manager of Lifeline Darling Downs, Derek Tuffield, that his son was assaulted by up to six youths last weekend at a skate park in Toowoomba. The youths reportedly bashed Blake with sticks, leaving him with a broken collarbone. They then created a Facebook page titled ''We bashed Blake Rice''.

Mr Tuffield said the family has been repeatedly harassed, bullied, abused and picked on since the floods.
