South Australian Infant

Story

South Australian Infant

The following preserves the family's account and the attributed archived source material.

I will now begin to tell the story of how the next child, a ten month old baby girl died due to the negligence of The Department of Child Safety in South Australia.

The mother of this baby was in foster care when she was a child, with a good family and therefore thought it prudent to ask the department to place her beloved daughter in foster care for a week, as she was homeless, but her dream home was to be completed in a weeks time, and they would live out their dream together as a family, she also had two older sons.

The department assured her that the baby would be placed into a safe environment. This was definitely not the case. The ten month old, beautiful, innocent, helpless.....little girl was put with an old lady, so severely handicapped that this woman was unable to even change nappies for the baby. She could not lift the child, and the child was placed into a cot and left, left to drown on her bottle, covered in truly severe nappy rash, from not having her nappies changed.

The day after that little girl died, the old lady had carpul tunnel surgery. She was severyly handicapped, and the department knew of it. This matter has been through the courts in SA, and the mother is forbidden to talk of it. This is how they keep this epidemic quiet, as well as media laws working in the favour of these child safety departments Australia wide. It all gets swept under the carpet....Until now.
