Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has apologized to survivors of child sex abuse for the state’s failure to protect them after a five-year government inquiry found thousands of sexual crimes against children, most of them committed in once well-trusted institutions.
In an address to parliament on Monday, Morrison acknowledged that the state had failed to stop “evil, dark crimes” committed over decades against over 15,000 known survivors at religious and state-run institutions responsible for keeping children safe.
