This is some pretty disturbing news:

AN 11-year-old boy forced two pre-school-aged girls to have sex with him, infected them with sexually transmitted diseases, but will not be prosecuted by Western Australian authorities.

Police yesterday confirmed that criminal charges would not be laid against the boy from Balgo, a troubled indigenous community in the northeastern reaches of the Great Sandy Desert 100km from the Northern Territory border, despite his being above the age of criminal responsibility under state law.

Although the incident is part of a continuing investigation, senior police have decided to treat the issue as a health matter, not a criminal one.

The Australian also understands the offender was never removed from the remote community, but was warned by a court not to go near his victims, believed to be aged five and six, and several other vulnerable youngsters.

Currently the Australian government is in the midst of a controversial policy change in regards to the Aborigines and have actually deployed the Australian Defence Force into some areas in order to provide security in the Aboriginal communities to protect the children that live there from sexual abuse.  The fact that the children are sexually abusing each other just makes me wonder where they learned it from.
