The distraught mother of a disabled girl has made an emotional plea for reform to make sure the most vulnerable of children cannot fall prey to paedophiles.
The woman, using the pseudonym CIC, told a royal commission how her 13-year-old daughter was anally raped while in the care of a Mater Dei residential school at Camden, New South Wales, in 1991.
Her daughter, now 38, has the mental capacity of a three to five-year-old and no one was ever charged with assaulting her, the mother said.
On Monday’s opening day of a hearing into disability service providers, CIC told how her daughter, referred to as CIB, was living in a residential cottage on the grounds of a Mater Dei property at Camden in 1991.
