Description

A five-year-old girl’s death in Australia’s Northern Territory has restarted a painful discussion about the care of aboriginal children. The BBC’s Katy Watson looks at the case of Kumanjayi Little Baby, and explains the history shaping today’s child protection policies, and why trust between Aboriginal communities and authorities is still fractured.
