The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to
Child Sexual Abuse has made a direct appeal to children in care to give
evidence.
Commissioner Robert Fitzgerald addressed more than 100
children under 18, many of whom are in the child protection system, at a
youth conference in Brisbane today. He invited them to tell their stories and give advice to the commission based on their experiences. "I, as a Commissioner, don't know how it feels to be in and out of home care," he told delegates. "You've felt it, experienced it. You know what we need to do. Tell us."http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-03/sex-abuse-commission-appeals-for-children-in-care-give-evidence/6825618
