Another victim of the Stolen Generations mantra

QUEENSLAND’S Child Safety Department knew that a 10-year-old girl had been gang-raped but did not report it to police, despite the girl also contracting a sexually transmitted disease from the encounter. The official report produced following the eight-month investigation states that a senior Child Safety officer was told on May 11 last year that the child had gonorrhea. It was revealed after the girl attended the Aurukun medical clinic on May 5 last year asking for a pregnancy test and condoms.
That information was immediately relayed to Child Safety, but the senior Child Safety officer did not pass the information on to police in line with her statutory obligations, and when questioned about it said she had spent several weeks making inquiries if gonorrhea was contractable* through means other than sexual transmission.
She has a position of responsibility and makes decisions, or doesn’t make them, that impact on the lives of children. Why spend time trying to prove it wasn’t sexually transmitted when it was known the child had first contracted syphilis in April 2002 when she was aged seven and was raped by five juveniles in Aurukun, receiving severe genital injuries. As a young bloke I heard you could get gonorrhea and syphilis from toilet seats but Dad said it’s a funny place to take a girl and he suggested that I ignore that pearl of juvenile wisdom. So learned at 15 what this woman still doesn’t know. The driving force in the whole episode? An emotive irrational belief in the Stolen Generations. In their mind, removing a child from the care of dysfunctional indigenous parents, even in a situation like this, is a greater crime than those being inflicted on the child No alarm bells! Can’t remove her from her parents care – The alarm bells are over ridden by the Left’s mantra….Stolen Generations….Stolen Generations…Stolen Generations….Stolen Generations How can the Child Safety Clerks (I refuse to call them Officers) and Judge Bradley sleep at night. What on earth are they doing? A FORMER foster carer of the girl at the centre of the Queensland rape furore warned authorities the girl was offering sex in exchange for cigarettes and alcohol just weeks before she was returned to Aurukun and pack-raped. The carer said child protection authorities were obsessed with returning abused and neglected children to their communities – even if they faced danger. Stolen Generations! Judge Bradley said a raft of issues, including cultural and language barriers, made it difficult for Aboriginal people to access the justice system and receive equal treatment. In a way that wasn’t her intention, she is right – these guys certainly haven’t received equal treatment. If they were white they would have been removed from society. I have a feeling that the kid is brain damaged from petrol sniffing. I can’t find any reference to it but if it is the case then it only makes her situation worse. From Aboriginal academic Professor Boni Robertson,
“What sort of message does that send to pedophiles and other people out there who think it’s OK to go out and have sexual relations with children under the age of consent?” …..it would be “absolutely mistaken” for anyone to claim there were cultural issues involved. “There is no way that any culture could be used to claim that it’s OK for nine men to sexually interfere with a 10-year-old child.”
Unless you’re from the left and believe everything is subordinate to “Stolen Generations”. UPDATE I: It’s what Judge Sarah Bradley is all about;
In 2001, … imposed a wholly suspended jail term, without conviction, on a 17-year-old youth who raped his grandmother. The court was told the youth raped his grandmother while she was in a drunken sleep. Again in 2001…imposed a wholly suspended one-year jail term on a Catholic school principal convicted of molesting a 15-year-old student.
UPDATE II: Amongst those involved were three men aged 17, 18 and 26 which makes a mockery of the THE crown prosecutor description of the crime as “childish experimentation”.

  • I have a 10 year old niece. She is loved, protected and cared for by her parents and all her family above all else.

    I am no softie, but I read about this poor little aboriginal kid, her dreadful life and her treatment and I can’t help but put my dear little niece in her place and weep.

    There are some situations that a few well placed 7.62 rounds would be appropriate.

    I tend to agree, but shooting the miscreants won’t solve the long-term problem. I agree with Mal Brough –

    “Only when we stop thinking of these children as Aboriginal and start to think of them as Australian, only when we stop making excuses because of the challenges of the remote localities, and only when we value every child’s life equally will we see the necessary changes being made by government.” (Sunday Mail – 16.12.07).

    The problem is apathy across the whole community, otherwise we’d be electing governments prepared to mobilise. Perhaps I’m naive, but forty years ago it was OK to conscript 20 year olds and send them to an obscure Asian country to slow the march of Communism. Why is it not OK in 2007 to conscript the same section of the population to help these disadvantaged communities on our own soil?
