Also from Andrew Bolt:
A VIOLENT man who inflicted horrific injuries on his toddler nephew was given custody despite fears expressed by childcare workers that he posed a danger.
Court documents allege a magistrate deemed it more important to keep the boy with someone of the same culture.
The 20-month-old tot was in the man’s care less than a month before ending up in intensive care with head injuries and his body burned and bruised.
A medical report found the boy had 25 injuries, including bone fractures, cigarette burns to his abdomen and what appeared to be a ligature mark where something was tightened around his neck.
The boy’s mother was murdered by an abusive partner and Department of Human Services workers rejected the uncle—who previously had little contact with the child—as a suitable carer, saying the child’s safety was more important than maintaining his indigenous cultural links.
But court documents claim the magistrate ruled cultural identity a priority and that a police check revealing the man’s history of crime and violence was not enough to rule him out as a carer.
And this is why multiculturalism must be stopped.

Stories like this make me cringe. That poor kid will end up dead, and the court will say it did everything it could…bollocks!

i’d like to see that magistrate be subject to the ‘caregiving’ of the uncle. maybe if judges had to actually live in the conditions they inflict on others, the judicial system would take back some common sense.

I’m coming dangerous close to making an analogy of the treatment that this chid recieved in the name of “cultural identity” ( as opposed to justice) that will merit a Godwin award….must……resist.
