*Synopsis | Troubles At Home (2024)*
It’s almost unimaginable. Last November, a 12-year-old girl in Victoria was charged with murder after allegedly stabbing a 37-year-old woman to death. On Thursday the charges were dropped though, because being so young, it was determined the girl didn’t have the mental capacity to be held criminally responsible for her actions. However, what’s important to know about this case is that at the time, she was the responsibility of the state. The girl was living in what’s called residential care; homes that are supposedly supervised, safe places for vulnerable children. But they’re not. On assignment for 60 MINUTES, Nine’s Christine Ahern meets a very brave young woman who wants Australia to know what’s really happening in residential care homes. This now 20-year-old says she suffered enormously and is demanding immediate changes to the system.
