Kids belong in schools, not prisons. It's time to #RaiseTheAge

...ie not as ‘offenders’ or unworthy ‘others’ but as young people with futures. We need to recognise that how we react & respond to children & young people shapes those futures. First step: #RaiseTheAge to #StopCriminalisingChildren

We allow #children to be #terrorised by the State on our behalf.

We must confront our complicity in this injustice.

Demand the end of #ChildImprisonment & #YouthDetention #ShutYouthPrisons

#RaiseTheAge Too young to drive = too young to be criminalised

In 2020, every AG in Australia agreed that "Commonwealth, State and Territory governments should raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 14 years of age, without exception."

No child should be criminalised.

Release the report.

Act now.

Don Dale has shut. But kids in detention are being moved 1500km from Alice Springs to the new Darwin centre
