Reports of child abuse fall:
Child abuse figures have fallen for the first time in a decade, driven mostly by a large drop in reports of emotional abuse.
In the year to June 2014, 9499 children were reported to have been emotionally abused, down from about 11,386 the year before.

Health worker admits accessing child porn:
A senior health professional has been found guilty of professional misconduct for accessing and viewing child pornography.
Restorative Justice: New law causing headaches:
Under a December 1st law change, all cases that result in a guilty plea, and where there is an identifiable victim must be adjourned and referred to restorative justice. Lawyers and judges say this is clogging up courts, which now have to deal with double the number of appearances in such cases.
