THE mother of a teenage boy left critically injured following a “coward’s punch” has pleaded with the person responsible to hand himself into police.
“Be honest, please,” Karyn, who wished to keep her surname unpublished, said in an appeal to her son Jaiden’s attacker.
“You might not realise that the outcome of your action is what it is now but you need to know and other young people need to know that this is not on.
“My son was invited to that party. He was not a gatecrasher. He’s a good boy.
“People get hurt for nothing. I’ve got my son who had the world at his feet and now he’s got a long road to go to get back to where he was.”

Her 15-year-old son is in a critical condition in the Royal Children’s Hospital after he was punched to the face by a young man running past him as he was walking away from an out-of-control party.
He has been placed in an induced coma.
Karyn fought back tears as she spoke of the shock of getting a phone call from her son to pick him up after he had been hit.
When she arrived, she said he had “quite a severe gash” to his face but was conscious.
“He was talking to me and I asked him all the questions a mother would ask (about what happened),” she said.
But on the drive home, the Rowville Secondary College student took a turn for the worse and started to have a seizure in the car.

She rushed him to the William Angliss Hospital in Ferntree Gully where he was immediately transferred to the Children’s Hospital and placed in an induced coma.
She said her son’s dream of playing professional soccer was shattered following the incident.
He was meant to travel to Italy next month for a trial with Italian Soccer Management (ISM) in Perugia.
She said he not only had the ability to go all the way, “but the desire”.
Police have appealed for witnesses or anyone with information about the incident to come forward to police or contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
