flag A Queensland review has found that Ashley Paul Griffith, a former childcare worker convicted of hundreds of sexual offences over two decades, should have been stopped earlier due to unaddressed warnings from parents, staff, and children. flag The report, "In Plain Sight," revealed that concerns were not shared across state lines or properly connected, allowing Griffith to abuse at least 65 children, many under nine, from 2003 until his arrest after being caught uploading child exploitation material. flag Systemic failures in early childhood education, police response, and the blue card system were identified, prompting 28 recommendations, including a 2026 reportable conduct scheme. flag Premier David Crisafulli called the findings "harrowing and disturbing," pledging swift action. flag The Family and Child Commissioner issued a letter to victims, affirming their truth and vowing systemic change. flag Griffith, sentenced to life in prison and appealing, faces additional allegations in New South Wales and Italy.
