When asked if more could be done to stop young people from becoming involved in gang violence, the acting premier Prue Car said “nothing’s off the table”.

She said organised crime groups were involving “vulnerable” children – “basically, for small amounts of money on the dark web to commit murderous crimes and, in some cases, hit the wrong person”.

How about the govt and society in general do more to make sure we make children less vulnerable? Like for example, resourcing Children's Services, foster care, rehabilitation better.
