School attendance and youth crime are at crisis point in Halls Creek. But as community leaders strive for solutions, there are glimmers of home for this troubled town.
Halls Creek, in Western Australia s Kimberley region, has descended into chaos with a group of boys terrorising locals and bragging about their antics on TikTok.
