This is absolutely unforgivable child abuse at the most basic level, and sanctioned by the fools pretending to govern.

How does the NT get away with torturing Aboriginal children? Don Dale jail for kids is a proven trauma factory. The responsible Minister must be charged with abuse & cruelty the same way a parent or guardian would be who perpetrated such crimes.
