The incident gained national attention after a video showing two children cable-tied on Radelic’s property was live streamed on social media.

    He was not given a fine, it was suspended for 12 months. He has essentially escaped consequence, which is just so disappointingly unsurprising for Western Australia.

    Nice to know that I can restrain people in anyway I deem fit if I decide they are trespassing on my property, as long as I contact the police at some point… So reasonable. I hope someone does the same shit to him next time he goes to buy his roids.

    Interesting that the same use of force on a third child wasn’t unreasonable just because the kid managed to escape…

    Why aren’t the parents in trouble? If I let my 6 year old daughter break into someone’s backyard and swim in their pool I’d lose custody. This is the real problem.

      In Australia you have to have a fence around any backyard pool, including shallow little blow up pools, because children will get into your yard and drown. So I guess it’s expected. Also, going into someone’s yard to get a lost ball was pretty normal when I was a kid and would not have resulted in losing custody.
