Shaylee Matthews shared the video of her crying nephew to LinkedIn, calling for an end to 'systemic' racism
An Anawain Gamilaroi woman has demanded change after her nephew was broken down by racist taunts allegedly experienced at AFL training. Shaylee Matthews took to her LinkedIn page to make the plea, also posting a video of her 9-year-old nephew Jarmiles in the aftermath of the incident. Still wearing his team jersey, the young boy is seen crying in a car and repeating the racial abuse allegedly hurled at him, and making his own demands for change.
"By standing in solidarity, raising our voices, and actively working towards a more just and inclusive society, we can create a future where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. "Let's turn this moment of pain into a catalyst for meaningful change and a brighter tomorrow for all our children." The disturbing video, which comes in the middle of Reconciliation Week, mirrors other such incidents of vulnerable children being exposed to racism.
