Over the next two years, seven 'risk of significant harm reports' were issued, mostly relating to neglect, failure to seek necessary medical attention and failure to ensure the children attended school. Initially the family complied with a request in June 2012 from social services to improve their living conditions but a month later 12 children, all cousins, ranging in age from five to 15 years, were removed by police after the authorities concluded that they would be at risk of harm if they remained at the property. The intergenerational abuse is thought to date back 40 years. The grandparents of the children removed, Timothy and June Colt (pseudonyms given to them by the court), married in New Zealand in 1966. They had seven children, Rhonda, Betty, Cherry, Frank, Charlie, Paula and Martha (all pseudonyms). The family moved to Australia, living in various locations across four states. Soon after the Colts arrived they came to the attention of police and the education department for failing to send their children to school. The education authorities were unable to find the farm because it was so hidden, but a local policeman visited early on and told the mothers they had to send their children to school. The younger ones were enrolled in a small bush school with remedial teachers, while the older children were enrolled at the high school. But all was not well. The children's attendance at school was patchy, several of them were rake thin and wore dirty clothes. Soon risk-of-harm reports began coming in to the Department of Family and Community Services from teachers and the local bus driver. the Colts were registered for federal benefits, raising questions about how state authorities were unable to follow up on these vulnerable children. But it took two years before the department acted. Read more: www.smh.com.au |
