From The Desk - Family Court Under Scrutiny: Are Children Being Left in Danger?
About this episode
This episode examines the failures of Australia’s Family Court system in protecting children and the experiences of mothers seeking safety for their children.
This week I posted about disturbing revelations involving Australia’s Family Court. I was inundated with messages from women who believe the system failed them—and left their children in danger. In this episode of From the Desk, I examine claims that protective mothers are being ignored, disbelieved, or financially broken by a process they entered to keep their children safe. I ask whether allegations of abuse are being properly investigated, whether children’s voices are being heard, and whether an expensive and secretive system is sufficiently accountable when the consequences of getting it wrong can last a lifetime.
