Child STD cases prompt sex abuse investigationsUp to 70 cases of possible abuse are being investigated by police in Western Australia's north after reports of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) among children. Six of the cases involve children aged under five. Under a new system, health authorities are obliged to report cases of STDs among children to police and social workers. Detective Senior Sergeant Martin Voyez says as a result, there have been three convictions of child abuse in the north-west of the state. "We have a lot more ammunition, shall we say, in order to interview the offender properly and get the matter before the court," he said. Member for the Kimberley Carol Martin says the system is helping to stamp out a significant problem in her electorate. "It's just sending a clear message that it's just not going to happen any more," she said. Chlamydia and gonorrhoea are the most common conditions being detected. The Mulindwas Communication Group
