Carers charged for wire brush abuse

Two Child, Youth and Family caregivers are facing more than 30 charges accusing them of subjecting boys in their foster care to years of abuse - including scrubbing their bodies and teeth with wire brushes.
It has also been alleged that four boys in the care of Andrew John Hemara, 53, and his wife, Jenny-Lee Hemara, 49, were chained together, made to sleep outside without blankets, and forced to run around a race track until they became sick.
