the family be reunited urgently for the best “physical and psychological” outcome.
Almost two years after being sent to Christmas Island, the whole family was still sleeping together on a queen-sized bed and Tharnicaa became anxious whenever she lost sight of her parents. Royal Australasian College of Physicians president Catherine Choong said Tharnicaa’s illness was terribly distressing and highlighted what health experts had been saying for years.
Telethon Kids Insitute director Jonathan Carapetis went one step further, telling ABC Perth on Friday it was cruel and dangerous for both girls to be locked up. Detention has also been linked to increased mental health and behavioural issues in refugee children, such as anxiety, sleep disturbance, bed-wetting, suicidal thoughts and self-harm.And it can cause long-term damage to social and emotional functioning, Australian Psychological Society president Tamara Cavenett said.
MartaPascual3 What’s wrong with Christmas Island? People do live there you know.
MartaPascual3 Terrorists SAC burned down more than 50 motorbikes & a house with coffee grinder of refugees in BaungHtae village,Mindat. SAC destroyed everything left in the village which residents had to leave behind while fleeing. June13Coup WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
MartaPascual3 Something that Victorians can testify to
MartaPascual3 And the real question that should be asked is: what sort of parents would willingly put their children in this position!! Sri Lanka awaits.
MartaPascual3 Sorry. While I do feel for them - why didn’t they just go home? TWICE they were “on the plane” to Sri Lanka and their lawyers “stopped the plane”. This is totally self-inflicted pain.
MartaPascual3 Could we also have leading health experts look at the affects on mental health that PMV300 couples are facing due to the discrimination in partner visa exemptions. karenandrewsmp makePMV300exempt from travel restrictions it is now 463 days since I’ve seen my fiancée.
MartaPascual3 You know their names.
MartaPascual3 They can go home to their extended family and friends in Sri Lanka. This is political and U feel sorry for the children.
MartaPascual3 Governament must engage with Srilankan governament to answer and safe return of them.
MartaPascual3 What about children who live on remote cattle stations? Are they traumatised for life? Seriously they are just some people who overstayed their visa and had some kids to avoid deportation. Get on with it and send them home so they can be with their family in Sri Lanka.
MartaPascual3 Not one of these politicians have any compassion

Accepting it's ok for people to have different beliefs to my own, what's your reasoning? Needs to be fact checked. She had a chest xray that came back clear and I heard that it was the family that said she had a blood infection. Stop calling them asylum seekers. Their claim was denied. They are Illegal immigrants. Also, LTTE is a proscribed terrorist organisation. Can she speak English? Her parents can’t
