Kylie and Tammy Wright were at their residence in Sunset, when a group of juveniles began throwing rocks at their house on Friday February 14 around 5pm.

"The first time they came, they were over our back fence at Sunset Park throwing rocks at our house," Kylie Wright said.

"We went out the back door and asked them to stop and they appeared to take off, but returned at 8.30pm to which they threw rocks at my sister injuring her leg. The kids took off and that was when we called the police."

Ms Wright said when police attended their house they "didn't seem too interested."

"They didn't want to come and look at the rocks or my sisters leg. They just said they would patrol the area.

"The kids then returned again at 10.30pm and threw rocks through our window which has put glass through our kitchen."

Ms Wright said they tried to go to sleep in the lounge room worried they would return again and smash more windows.

"We stayed up until 2am Saturday morning because we were too scared to fall asleep," she said.

"We slept in the lounge room because there are big windows in the bedrooms and we were worried they were going to come back again and smash them too."

Ms Wright said she was terrified to live in her own house after consistent issues and nothing being done.

"I have rung the department of housing and I have told them that I want support to relocate; I don't want to be here anymore," she said.

"I am living on a disability pension and NDIS, I don't have a car; so I don't have the means to relocate. I have been here for seven years, so to move it is a massive thing for me to do."

A spokesperson for the Department of Housing and Public Works said they were aware of issues related to youth crime in Mount Isa.

"We are working closely with tenants, local police and community organisations to protect tenants from further harassment," the spokesperson said.

"Everyone has the right to enjoy reasonable peace, comfort and privacy in their home.

"Anyone who witnesses any illegal activity should report this to the police immediately."

Ms Wright said agencies and all levels of government needed to work together to reduce the juvenile crime in Mount Isa.

"The Council won't do anything, the police don't do anything, the housing commission don't do anything and it has got to the point where I don't feel safe here anymore," she said.

"This isn't the first time we've had issues, my fence has had to be reinforced because they kept breaking my fence in, other windows have been smashed and I've had to call the ambulance for my neighbour after she had an anxiety attack due to youths attacking her house."

There are a number of things that Ms Wright believes could reduce the juvenile crime.

"I think that Indigenous elders need to come in to help control the young ones, I think a curfew needs to be put in place, the courts need to do more then just a slap on the wrist and more police patrols; just for a start," she said.

"I don't think there are enough police officers out here, not for the situation currently happening."

This is not the first report of juveniles attacking this housing estate, with The North West Star reporting on neighbour Freda Needham when she was attacked in her own home in 2017.

The North West Star contacted Mount Isa City Council and Mount Isa Police for comment but did not respond in time for publication.
