System Failed Kumanjayi’s Family | Perth News
Description
A damning independent review exposes catastrophic failures in the Northern Territory’s child protection system, especially when family violence is involved — sparked by the tragic death of five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby. The report reveals systemic blind spots: missed risk assessments, inadequate safety planning, and dangerously low staffing levels. It’s not just one case — it’s a call for urgent overhaul. Recommendations demand stronger leadership, better recruitment of experienced staff, and a unified approach that integrates domestic violence and child protection assessments. The goal? A fully functional, accountable system that turns protective laws into real, life-saving action.
