Superintendent Pukallus urged caregivers to utilize online safeguarding resources to discuss personal security measures with young people.
We encourage parents and carers to access the Daniel’s Law website, have open and age-appropriate conversations with their children, and help them understand how to recognise unsafe situations and speak to a trusted adult,

Authorities asked anyone aware of a minor facing neglect or abuse to notify services immediately, noting that public participation remains critical to child wellbeing. Separate advocacy efforts have also emerged regarding other child welfare issues in the state, with InterAction launching a Queensland Parliament petition to address medical practices affecting intersex children.
According to that parliamentary petition, current legislation and healthcare practices fail to protect intersex children from invasive and irreversible surgeries, noting that such procedures carry a lifetime of stigma and can result in a loss of reproductive capacity and psychological trauma.
The petition calls on the Legislative Assembly of Queensland to direct the Queensland Law Reform Commission to review existing healthcare guidelines and legislation concerning intersex interventions. The petition requests that the House consult directly with the intersex community and introduce legal protections to halt deferrable medical procedures—such as hormonal and surgical treatments that alter sex characteristics—during the current term of government.
Supporters can engage with the campaign by writing to their local member of parliament, signing the official petition hosted on the Queensland Parliament website, or joining the Campaign Actions Newsletter.
Acting Detective Chief Superintendent Troy Pukallus stated that the public’s actions could make a life-changing difference for a child’s safety and wellbeing.
