He has been charged with eight counts of assault occasioning bodily harm while in company and one count each of grievous bodily harm, attempted stealing and wilful damage.
The teenager is due to appear at Beenleigh Children’s Court on Monday.
The charges come after sickening footage emerged showing Callum being allegedly lured towards a group of boys by a 13-year-old girl he knew while riding his e-scooter home from school.

The girl allegedly pointed him towards a group of boys before the group attacked him.
Footage shows one of the boys allegedly punching Callum in the face, breaking his glasses and sending him to the ground, before the group surrounds him and kicks him.
The group allegedly continued attacking the teenager while he lay unconscious on the footpath, with one boy appearing to stomp on his head, before leaving him lying motionless on the ground.
The attack left Callum with a fractured skull and hearing loss in one ear.
His mother previously told 7NEWS doctors believed his hearing loss could be permanent.

Joe’s Diner in Eagle Farm will host a fundraiser for the family this weekend and set up a GoFundMe for Callum.
“What should have been a normal, everyday ride home has instead turned into something that has changed his life and the lives of everyone who cares about him.,” organiser and family friend Tegan Pett wrote.
“His recovery is going to be long and difficult. Callum will need ongoing medical care, specialist appointments, monitoring, and support over the coming months as he heals both physically and emotionally from what he has been through.”
The three boys, including one as young as 11, previously charged in relation to the incident, along with the newly charged teenager, are all due to appear at Beenleigh Children’s Court on August 24.
A 13-year-old Yarrabilba girl accused of filming the attack has previously been dealt with under the Youth Justice Act.
Police investigations into the alleged attack remain ongoing.
