The Carly Ryan Foundation is fighting harder than ever after following statistics that reveal 28 per cent of cases each day heard in South Australia's District Court involve sexually-based crimes against children.
SA safety advocates are calling for the federal government to step in and overhaul how courts deal with cases of child sexual abuse, saying children could be better protected.
The foundation is calling for a national approach, taking these cases out of state hands with the creation of a Commonwealth Children's Act.Alongside calls to stop perpetrators from being able to move between states is an overhaul to how courts manage child sexual abuse cases. When the requests for change were put to the state government by 9News, the Attorney General Kyam Maher replied by listing achievements of the government rather than addressing the changes.
