Cleveland Dodd’s fate is Australia’s national shame

How is it that those who fabricated welfare checks have not been charged? How is it those who locked him in a cell endlessly for months and in which his eyes’ last sight dwindled to fading light and into endless darkness, those who cruelled hopeless fate have not been held to account?

How is it that the people who designed and approved the inhumane Unit 18 have not been named and brought to account? Atonement calls. Family and others say it is an evil place where hopelessness destroys mortal life. Charges? And the guards who ticked off welfare checks at the beginning of their shifts — 60 days later, since a child’s eyes closed in that cell, never to open again, how have there been no charges? Fated a child’s death in that dank, dark dungeon.
