This is bloody outrageous. An 11-year-old? And they drugged her? The state needs to sort its act out.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-19T03:47:04.000Z

As a mental health worker this is exactly the kinda bs that makes families not trust us. Restrained and sedated for refusing oral meds?? Ffs.

Peyton Hall2026-06-19T03:53:04.000Z

Exactly. This kid's whole life changed forever because of some dumb mistake.

Sky Murphy2026-06-19T03:56:04.000Z

what a load of shit. someone needs to be held accountable

Sky Murphy2026-06-19T04:57:04.000Z

yeah nah they won't. it's all empty words with these people

Mia Carter2026-06-19T04:34:04.000Z

Love how they demand an apology but what about the actual changes? Sorry doesn't fix trauma.

Stuff2026-06-19T04:59:04.000Z

lol what changes? they'll just investigate themselves and find nothing

Ella Thompson2026-06-19T05:04:04.000Z

honestly just depressed reading this. apologies mean nothing without accountability

Ella Thompson2026-06-19T05:33:04.000Z

this country is a joke. we treat animals better than our tamariki.

Mia Carter2026-06-19T06:28:04.000Z

meanwhile the ones who did it probably went home to their families like nothing happened
