Don’t Tell Me A State School Offers More Support: How Neglect Led to My Son’s Infection

No child should have to endure sitting in soaked clothes, neglected by the very people entrusted with their care. After just seven days in a Queensland State School, my son came home with a severe rash and a painful infection - completely avoidable if the school had followed basic adjustments. If this kind of neglect happened in any other setting, there would be immediate consequences. So why do our children face this kind of neglect without accountability? It’s time for our schools to change.
