Indigenous advocates say children are being failed by the very systems designed to protect the most vulnerable in our communities. On Tuesday, the Northern Territory coroner handed down findings on the suspected suicides of three teenagers in remote communities in the Top End. Judge Greg Cavanagh didn't rule out foul play in the deaths of one of the girls but said departmental agencies had been "blind" to the stress and trauma the girls suffered in their short lives - including rape, molestation and apathy. CEO of Thirrili Jacqueline McGowan-Jones and Thirrili suicide postvention advocate Gracelyn Smallcombe are calling for better services for at risk young people. Government departments had missed warning signs, according to Thirrili's chief executive Jacqueline McGowan-Jones.
