She told the Daily Mail: "He went to the school this morning to collect his school bag – he felt he had to do that, and he just cuddled it and cried.
"He's unrepairable.
"It was him and his dad against the world."

A number of fundraiser pages have been set up to raise money for the victims' families. One such page set up by a local woman has so far raised more than $1m for the families.
The page reads: " I don't know of or are related to any of the affected children but this is something close to my heart and it was something simple I could do .
"I was moved by the tragedy at Hillcrest Primary School and wanted to do something to support the families throughout Christmas.
"All funds will go to the families of the children who were tragically killed and injured to not only support them but provide them with much needed gifts in this time of such sadness.
"Hopefully we as the incredible community of Devonport can rally to support such deserving and hurting people."

At a press conference on Friday morning, police refused to say whether the jumping castle was tied down when it flew into the air.
"Was the jumping castle tethered at all?" one reporter asked.
"That forms part of the investigation," Tasmanian Police Commissioner Darren Hine said.
"It is fair to say that those injured were inside the castle. We need to piece the movements of the individuals together so we can present a full picture to the coroner."
