Citizens Commission on Human Rights Victoria
With the Victorian Mental Health Act under review, now is the time to correct the complete lack of adequate legislative protection for the mistreatment of a child (or adult) under the Act. There are no criminal fines or prison terms for abuse in the Victorian Mental Health Act. In stark contrast, Victoria’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, fines up to $45,435 or up to 12 months imprisonment for anyone found guilty of an act of cruelty to an animal that wounds, abuses, worries, torments or terrifies the animal.
Now is the time to legislate against torturous psychiatric practices that harm children. If this went on in a non-psychiatric setting, it would cause wide scale public outrage. This includes electroshock and restraint.
