The Office of the Public Guardian later wrote to the Department of Child Safety, Youth and Women to complain that holding the boy in the watch house had distressed him and resulted in a decline in his mental health. The Queensland Police Service (QPS) did not answer a list of questions about the boy's case, instead telling the ABC that it "holds the safety and wellbeing of people in its custody as a paramount priority". "I really don't care what this kid has done, but he should not be treated like that." "I actually just cannot believe it, that a child has been stripped naked and left naked for four days," Queensland Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington said. " reported that he only has a blanket to wrap around himself," the documents state. The boy later told his child safety officer that he didn't want to wear the smock "due to feelings of shame" and after being stripped naked he was left in a cell with other children for four days. Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington says the Premier has not overseen a "full investigation" into children in watch houses.
The files revealed that a girl had been mistakenly placed in a holding area with two alleged male sex offenders, while another girl had part of her finger severed in a watch house door. The program also highlighted several cases of 10-year-olds being held in the adult facilities, as well as incidents of children attempting suicide. Last month Four Corners reported that some children were being held in watch houses for weeks on end, with one placed in isolation for 23 days. "This is abhorrent, and it's a gross violation of this child." Please read the terms and conditions of the app to work out if it is the best method of communication for you.
