Well done, RCH drs for putting the children first and standing up to our politicians and their heart breaking stance on asylum seekers.

The Hippocratic Oath does not mention prejudice.

of course they are sworn to an oath- but it would be more 'hypocritical" of them to treat people with predjudice as some here want them to do

We would need to build a lot 

More hospitals if every child 

In australia 

Were withheld from going home

Because they had behavioral

Problems

Every child between the ages

Two and three would be admitted

Its the same old rhetoric being used as an excuse to villify those who do not believe that all muslims are terrorists.

It is not illegal to seek asylum.

If I remember correctly, there is something like 400 children in the general community under residence determinations, 100 in onshore detention facilities and 93 still on Nauru.

On second thoughts

Make that two to

Eighteen

[debra9275]

there is a lot more to it than 'behavioural problems' read the report I posted back there.

If that is what people believe, no wonder there is overprescribing of amphetamines for children.

And, something like 3,500 children are in the community with their parents under bridging visas.

It is very telling in regards to the attitude towards children in detention though, if that what is believed about children in general. A bit sad, really, but it does give an insight into where the mindset comes from.

It is one thing to love and nurture children

But to use them as a tool to achieve a political

Agenda

That is another story
