Some of the country's most vulnerable children who find the subject of their care before the courts face delays in therapeutic, disability, and mental health services, often exacerbating problems that begin in homes where they have suffered abuse or neglect.
That is according to a new report by the Child Care Law Reporting Project, which follows childcare proceedings in the district and High Courts.
