ANALYSIS: 'The system' failed Bradyn Dillon. How many children in your neighbourhood are you failing?

Ms Hunter's was the fourth extensive inquiry into Bradyn's death. Each examined the many opportunities authorities had, and missed, to help him.

Yet in the search for a "fix" — a way to make the child protection system infallible — we may overlook another factor: ourselves and the community we have become.The ACT's imperfect child services are, rightly, under constant scrutiny. The ACT's rate had been falling — which can be a sign that efforts to identify abuse and intervene are getting better.Yet there was an emerging problem.

One of Bradyn's teachers was "not fooled by Graham Dillon" and his careful lies, even if almost everyone else had been. Retired paediatrician Sue Packer, a former senior Australian of the Year, sits on a committee that reviews every child death in the ACT.Sue Packer says communities are fracturing, providing less support to parents.

Utter bollox , especially headline. People want to blame the system when it doesnt work instead a bit more introspection. Teachers get blamed when parents are neglectful. Social work get hammered if they want to take a child away. People bleat about their rights... pathetic

So media & law has spent years breaking down community environments by preventing people from being involved with what is going on around them and now itscoming back to bite us in the rear end, who would have thought 🤔
