The mother of a boy seriously injured by an e-bike rider has made a plea to the alleged teen rider’s parents.

Her five-year-old son was allegedly hit by a 13-year-old boy, who is accused of riding off on his e-bike after the playground crash in Sydney’s south in late September.

Nicole Brown said her son was playing with his sisters on the grass at Cooper St Reserve in Engadine when he was allegedly struck by an e-bike that Brown claims had been doing wheelies on the nearby basketball court.

The five-year-old boy suffered fractures to his tibia and fibia leg bones and was taken to Sydney Children’s Hospital.

“Six weeks later, he remains in a wheelchair unable to walk or stand,” Brown said in an open letter to the parents of the alleged rider, posted in a local community group on Facebook.

He will not be able to walk for another four weeks, and any long-term consequences of the injuries are unclear.

“Every morning I have to carry him wherever he needs to go: to the lounge, onto the floor, into his wheelchair and to the toilet,” Brown said.

“I have become his full-time carer, while still trying to meet the needs of our two other children, who are also extremely traumatised by the whole situation.

“Each day is debilitating and my heart goes out to any parent caring for children with disabilities that are in a situation like this permanently.”
