It’s always horrific to hear when innocent people, especially children, are exploited or suffer from mistreatment. Just a few days ago, we were shocked to hear about the news of a Queensland woman who is said to have carried out horrific crimes against children.

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is accused of carrying out multiple counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16, including rape, sexual assault, torture and assault between 2005 and 2020.

Channel 7 is yet to comment on the situation. Image source: Shutterstock.

Horrifyingly, these alleged offences took place at various locations in the state.

Her partner has also been charged with a number of other assaults in relation to the case.

The alleged perpetrator had also recently participated in a yet-to-air Channel 7 show. But the network has not commented on the matter—nor have they revealed if the show will be cancelled or edited to remove the woman.

According to reports, both the woman and her partner have been released on bail and are due to appear in Richlands Magistrate's Court in September and October, respectively.

I have a deterrent for such creeps. It involves elements of A Clockwork Orange, the administration of Viagra. a rusty potato peeler and a handful of sodium hydroxide (caustic soda).

Thinking about it, I could replace the sodium hydroxide with liberal lashings of the Gympie Gympie plant.

It’s a problem this trial by television and radio. I am horrified that the toxic mushroom case has been judged by media which is appalling. If and when this case goes to trial how on earth will the perpetrator get any sort of a fair hearing. These journalists need shutting down. Everyone is innocent until proved guilty. We may all hold opinions but we do not have to air them on media.

A very interesting case. I'd love to be sitting in the County Court during the hearing.

It is so sad all these poor little children getting abused all the time. What is the world coming to? It seems to getting worse, not better.

I'm not sure if it's worst now I think more is found out and people report more than in the past

There are mandatory reporting requirements of child abuse for an increasing number of professions which is bound by legislation. In addition, members of the public are also required to report such events.

Child abuse just isn't sexual or physical. It can take the form of neglect (lack of food or shelter), witnessing family violence, substance abuse by family members and even the child's behaviour which may be indicative of abuse.

This is the main driver of the increase of child abuse cases in recent times. It's not swept under the carpet as previously.
