Authorities missed ‘repeated’ chances to protect Kumanjayi Little Baby

Key points

• A damning independent review has found authorities missed repeated chances to protect five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby before her death. The Department of Children and Families was notified of concerns about her 14 times, including before she was born.
• The review, tabled in the NT parliament, calls for a system-wide reset of child protection services. Jefferson Lewis, a distant relative of the family, has been accused of her murder and will face court at a later date.
• Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, the girl's aunt, said she had been let down by the system.
