8月20日，在澳大利亚昆士兰州布里斯班以西一家政府资助的寄养机构内，一名疑似智力受损的青少年女孩涉嫌遭到一名工作人员性侵，警方已就此展开调查1。昆士兰儿童安全部长阿曼达·卡姆（Amanda Camm）表示对虐待行为“零容忍”，“特别是当涉及到寄养中的弱势儿童时”1。她强调：“昆士兰人完全有理由期望，任何被定罪犯下如此[被指控的]恶劣罪行的人，都应受到法律的全面制裁”1。
卡姆披露，6月的一项调查委员会报告显示，该州约67%的性剥削举报涉及寄养机构内的儿童，她直言：“在州内照护系统中报告的性剥削指控中，67%涉及寄养机构儿童，这是不可接受的”1。此外，数据显示自2019年以来，尚无儿童从州照护系统中被收养1。为应对相关问题，昆士兰州政府已接受儿童安全调查最终报告52项建议中的32项，并承诺在30个月内投入2亿澳元予以落实1。同时，政府计划于周三向议会提交法案，拟成立昆士兰保护委员会，该机构预计将于2027年初正式投入运作1。
A teenage girl, who is allegedly intellectually impaired, was allegedly raped by a staff member at a government-funded residential care facility west of Brisbane on August 20 1. Queensland police have launched an investigation into the alleged assault 1. Queensland Minister for Child Safety Amanda Camm stated she had zero tolerance for abuse, "particularly when it comes to vulnerable children in care" 1. She added that "Queenslanders would rightly expect that anyone convicted of such an allegedly heinous offence deserves to face the full force of the law" 1.
A child safety inquiry's final report in June revealed that about 67% of reported sexual exploitation in state care involved children in residential care 1. Camm stated, "Sixty-seven per cent of children in residential care that have reported sexual abuse allegations is unacceptable" 1. The government is accepting 32 of the 52 recommendations made in the final report, committing $200 million to implement them within 30 months 1. The report also highlighted that no child had been adopted from state care since 2019 1. Additionally, a bill to establish the Queensland Protection Commission would be introduced to parliament on Wednesday, with a launch expected in early 2027 1.
