WHY MUST IT COME TO THIS BEFORE PEOPLE CARE????????
[1 MILLION dollars to fail a child in Residential care]

""Now, it has emerged the girl has an intellectual age of six and had repeatedly gone missing from her state care for days at a time, The Herald Sun reported. ""
""One source even told the paper the girl was 'prostituted out' - or forced to undertake sex work - and was known to Victoria Police.
A youth worker told the paper they had 'never seen a worse example' of a child being failed by the state.
'No one has done anything about this kid’s welfare for the past 12 months,' he said.
'People have called the police about this girl and she has fallen through the cracks.
'This is a welfare issue and no one has picked up on it.'
The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing – which is responsible for children in state care – refused to comment. ""
RESIDENTIAL CARE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY! This is NOT an isolated incident and it was NOT unforeseeable!
NO CHILD LIVING IN A FIRST WORLD COUNTY SHOULD BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST DUE TO WHO THEY WERE BORN TOO, WHERE THEY WERE BORN OR WHO CARES FOR THEM
