## Resource

Teenagers as young as 13 are turning to extreme violence in home invasions, wielding machetes and firearms with shocking brutality—shattering the old pattern of youth crime that started small. In just two weeks, two Sydney homes were attacked: one victim lost his hand, another his thumb, both by teen perpetrators with no prior record. Experts warn this is an emerging, dangerous trend, with machetes seen as more intimidating, forcing victims into compliance. Law enforcement is sounding the alarm as these violent escalations defy tradition and demand urgent attention.
