How Could You? Hall of Shame-Australia-North Queensland Foster Father
This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.
From North Queensland, Australia, “a foster father with three children in his care has been charged with child sex offences and possessing child exploitation material.
The man in his 40s was arrested in north Queensland and charged with the sex related offences Thursday afternoon.
The arrest is just the latest scandal to rock the foster care sector.
The man, who cannot be named, has been charged with three counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16, possessing child exploitation material and accessing child exploitation, according to the Courier Mail.
Police are reportedly shocked by what they found.
One of the charges reportedly stems from photographs the man took of a child.
He has also been charged with using a carriage service to make available child pornography, disobedience to a lawful order in relation to refusing to provide access to a storage device, and possessing cannabis.
It’s reported the foster father used special encryption software on his computer which could potentially wipe its history.
But in an effort to obtain evidence, police have arranged for a computer specialist to retrieve data from the man’s hard drive.
The man is expected to appear in Cairns Magistrates Court this morning. “
