A woman has told the Royal Commission investigating abuse in care she was moved between at least a dozen care homes and raped multiple times - all before she turned 16. Despite social welfare filing a complaint against her adoptive parents, Pickering was placed under a supervision order and returned to their care. She told social welfare about both assaults but no action was taken and she was placed back with her adoptive parents. By the time she was 15 years old, Pickering had moved between foster homes, group family homes and her adoptive parents at least a dozen times.
