Youth crime crackdown sucks Queensland children into ‘quicksand of the legal system’

His report found children on bail had committed more crimes, particularly serious crimes, and service delivery and advocacy organisations thought the laws hadn’t worked.

John’s offences were described as “not particularly serious”. He took $75 from a wallet and bought a drink with a stolen credit card – the exceptions being that he was a passenger in a stolen vehicle and threw a phone at a staff member in his residential care facility.Child Safety had been involved in his care his entire life, and the court heard of his “traumatic childhood” and exposure to parental domestic violence and alcohol use.

Speaking to press this week after his report came to light, Atkinson referred to the “brutal reality” in which many of those targeted by the legal crackdown are raised. The ex police boss spoke of young offenders being victims themselves of physical, psychological and sexual abuses.
