Inquiry into sexual exploitation of children in care in Victoria 'delayed

A crucial inquiry into the sexual exploitation of children in out-of-home care was allegedly delayed because of the refusal of the Victoria Department of Human Services to share information with the Child Safety Commissioner.
The inquiry, by the Commission for Children and Young People, was triggered by revelations that groups of paedophiles are targeting children living in residential care units across the state, using drugs, alcohol and cigarettes to lure them away from the units.
