Australian man charged after tying three children enjoying deserted swimming pool with cables. The man, aged 45, is due to appear in court on March 25.

He attacked the three children after surprising them in a deserted pool. A video was posted on social media and shows two of the children tied up, crying, while the oldest managed to flee the scene. The police declared themselves “dismayed” by the broadcast of these images and called for calm. The three children are of Aboriginal origin, which caused great excitement within the local community.
