Party brat parents fight back

Australian party brat Corey Delaney, who has become an internet star after a wild party at home when his parents went away, is being taken down a peg or two by his parents, reports today's Guardian. The couple released a photo of beach bum Corey as an innocent, copper-topped and very freckly child, and in an open letter to the media described him as "a loving, kind and fun boy who plays computer games with his eight-year-old sister, takes her to the park and always has time for his family". Corey was unrepentant in a national TV interview when told he should take a long, hard look at himself: "I have. Everybody has. They love it."
