Shocking footage from the Nerang River on Australia's Gold Coast shows two teenagers on jet skis capsizing a small boat carrying two children aged 10 and 14, who were unharmed.
Queensland Police have charged the 15- and 16-year-old jet ski operators with dangerous operation of a vessel and assault; the parties involved were strangers.
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate described the incident as "unfathomable" and plans to work with police to increase security measures, including more cameras, to deter such dangerous behavior.
Locals condemned the reckless actions, highlighting the potential danger to the children and calling for stricter consequences, with some comparing the jet skis to "e-bikes of the ocean."
The incident has sparked broader concerns about frequent dangerous jet ski behavior in the area, prompting calls for better enforcement and accountability.
