How Australian undercover police ‘fed’ an autistic 13-year-old’s fixation with Islamic State

Counter-terrorism police encouraged an autistic 13-year-old boy in his fixation on Islamic State in an undercover operation after his parents sought help from the authorities.

The boy, given the pseudonym Thomas Carrick, was later charged with terror offences after an undercover officer “fed his fixation” and “doomed” the rehabilitation efforts Thomas and his parents had engaged in, a Victorian children’s court magistrate found.

Those cops need to be charged and publically named by IBAC.

Mate you don’t want to look up what actually happens to cops when they get in trouble.

A few years ago in Melbourne they beat up a ND guy in his yard, their punishment? They had to apologise to him.

A cop in Geelong beat up a guy in his cell, he was close to retirement so he had to do deskwork for a month or so until he retired.

The legal system protects its own.

True, but if we can't have real justice, letting everyone know what dog cunts they are might be the closest we get.

At least the second guy isn't on the streets.
