A 15-year-old detainee at the Don Dale youth detention
centre was denied medical treatment for a broken collarbone for at least
two days and guards would not allow him to wear a sling, a royal
commission has heard.
In a written statement to the Royal
Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern
Territory, the former detainee, known only as BF, said that in spite of
the injury in early 2011 he was told to play sports and later broke his
collarbone again.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-14/royal-commission-hears-treatment-for-broken-collarbone-delayed/8351870
