Sorry but Australia has a shocking history of this sort of abuse, the child may be little buggers BUT no one should be tortured like that, I can see by some of the replies why this happens.

It is Against the law handed out by the law and is disgusting.

you will be held at abc youth detention center for a period of 12 months where you will be tortured everytime your naughty.

lets look at WHY these (mostly likely) feral uncontrollable kids were in there in the first place before we all pass a blanket judgement.

Doesn't matter why these children are where they are - what matters is that they are there as punishment not for punishment and while you might argue that they are feral and their attitudes stink, the consequences for their failure to accept the rules of the institution should never extend to the cruelty that has been exposed. What we have been shown is quite likely to be only a fraction of the mis-treatment these children are subjected to. 

I'm sure there will be jobs on the line when the investigation is complete possibly even gaol time for some, and that would be justice served

how about by making it such a NOT NICE place to end up that they never want to go back or we could pamper to the little darlings who break into houses, steal cars and bash innocent people...

Are you saying that what was shown on 4 corners is appropriate treatment for juvenile offenders?

[bsal6160]

Probably one who has had their house broken into over 5 times by kids under 13, had 4 cars stolen by these poor little darlings, been spat on in the street for being a white australian. And you want me and my family to feel sorry our attitude towards the little darlings?

Adult prisoners dont get this treatment in Jails..  Time someone was sent for more training about human behaviour.

Being locked up for a number off years is ok for them, it should teach some off them a lesson. So what would with them???
