Summary
A heartbreaking tragedy has unfolded as a 15-year-old girl died in a Queensland residential care facility, believed to be from a drug overdose — echoing the recent suicide of another teen in similar custody. The acting child safety minister has launched a full investigation, as advocates and youth workers demand urgent accountability, stressing that state care must go beyond basic supervision to ensure true safety and support for vulnerable children. While the Department of Child Safety maintains privacy restrictions, they confirm all deaths in their care trigger thorough reviews by independent bodies — a process that must now urgently address systemic failures before more lives are lost.
