Bondi Junction stabbings: Joel Cauchi’s parents ‘extremely sorry’ after son’s attack

48 comments

1. May all involved, the one who was menrally ill and the ones whose life was tragically ended, rest in peace.

2. My heart hurts for those parents. They obviously love their son but are broken by his actions. Mental health isn't an excuse but it can be a reason to why. Leave his family alone to grieve and hopefully heal. They've been through enough

3. I feel so sorry for these parents.None of us know how we would react,just amazing as they say “I still love my son” Remarkable. Just ordinary people

4. LEAVE THE FAMILY ALONE!!
   This is —-NOT—- their fault!!!!!

5. I am sure the parents would have agreed to a press conference somewhere else rather than having their home plastered all over the media for all to see. That is some parasitic journalism right there… Poor form.

6. Would people have this same reaction if it was non white family? Or the usual deport!!! Weeeee 😂

7. This news have been devastating from the start till now

8. Why are they different gen…the killer look like arabian

9. I struggle to comprehend what his parents are going through. Any parent can see they are living a nightmare now. I don’t know how they will ever find peace. This is one event Dutton could compare Port Arthur to and this will be unpacked for decades.

10. Poor parent 😢 I hope they can find peace❤

11. Funny how joel has been labelled as a killer and the church stabbing of the priest as an act of terrorism.

12. Do not blame his parents, do not blame the children of gaza for hamas war..it is the same point. 25,000 orphans in gaza, 14,000 children got killed

13. Condolences to the families of the victims. With the benefit of hindsight, I sincerely hope that lessons will be learned this time and mental health procedures will be reviewed thoroughly and vigorously to ensure that this doesn't occur again on Australian soil. Prayers, vigils, resolve, oasis songs, and meaningful dialogue, not the usual lip service given by opportunistic career politicians or useless Mayors

14. On another planet

15. Blood Sport Journalism
    Targeted these traumatised parents at their own home SHAME SHAME SHAME

16. 🙏🙏Prayers for this mother and father, and their family 🙏🙏

17. What his dad says makes zero sense as it is now thought he was a male escort, I still don't think the attacker looks like the photos I have seen of Joel either

18. The parents are to blame 100% they knew he was dangerous. They even said as much they knew he was gonna do something like this. It was just a matter of time. This man says I tried and tried and tried. Didn’t you actually try and get him some actual help, but you didn’t your pathetic and now you’re crying on TV. Your son is a monster is disgusting human being and he bread from you which means you bread him. You raised him. You made him this way you were to blame.

19. 😢😢😢😢😢
    Prayers to the victims family+ to his family!! 🙏

20. Probably an incel where he expected ladies to come running to him. Narcissist and delusion is not a joke

21. Same old suspects.

22. I’m sorry for all, I’m sure all of us in the UK are too. Peace and love ✌️❤️

23. There are lessons for community care of the mentally ill and Sydney’s social scene probably treated him horribly.

24. Drugs. Psychiatry pseudoscience. No condistent sustsinsble healthy lifestyle. Psychiatridts names?

25. Why is he doing this to others

26. I once spoke to an elderly woman who had a 21 year old son with schizophrenia. He killed himself in the Appalachian mountains. Teenage boys are at risk.

27. Why is media harassing those poor parents! They lost a child too!!!

28. Why dont these jornalists go find the brilliant doctor who took that man off his meds and no follow up!

29. Take the spotlight off the government’s failures in housing, treating and supporting mentally I’ll people by trying to make us blame the parents, didn’t work though

30. I can't imagine how awful his family feels you can hear it and see it in their faces. It's not their fault.

31. Even back in 2007 when I was in the UK I noticed they had much better services for the mentally ill. Group homes with 24/7 nurses and social workers to ensure patients were up to date with their meds, on track with their budgets, keeping their doctor appointments etc. It took a lot of pressure off the families and the patients. We need more of those kinds of services here.

32. He looks like something out of Star Wars.

33. Leave the parents alone….

34. His problems were beyond help

35. STOP DOXING HIS FAMILY!! This is actually against the law to do. Please take down any videos with his families house. You do not understand the danger you have done to this family.

36. His father looks like such a warm hearted genuine man who truly did everything he could and my heart hurts for him and his wife. Rip to all the Victims🥺🙏

37. Just imagine it was somebody of a 'wrong' religion or skin colour…

38. Imagine the 'poor boy' was someone who's family had been killed and whou had been harrassed his whole life by a brutal oppressor and then joined an armed resistance to liberate his people. Would there be any understanding for that 'poor boy'?

39. Unfortunately a tragedy like this highlights the failure of government, in shutting down mental institutions & selling off the real estate. These places maynot be the best solution, but at least these souls could at least have access and professional monitoring of care required. Currently these souls are in jail, wandering the streets or forced back on family who struggle with the skills required to manage + the financial burden.

40. Poor man!

41. These people are not responsible.

42. Stop harassing the parents

43. Anicet Mayela. Why don’t you report on that Guardian. Another vile imported problem you don’t want to deport.

44. this poor parents:(

45. leave these people alone.

46. poor guy

47. Australian doesn't understand religious beliefs hate in there society is playing a role

48. Mental issues…… same old craps.
