Police in Australia’s Northern Territory say they received more than 30 calls in the months before Kumanjayi “Little Baby” died, after reports raised concerns about the welfare of his mother. According to the accounts cited by outlets covering the case, NT Police were contacted on over 30 occasions to respond to allegations that the mother was being assaulted. Police also say they feared for her life in relation to those calls. The reports describe the calls as continuing over a period leading up to the child’s death, suggesting repeated interventions or attempts to respond to welfare concerns before the incident in which Kumanjayi Little Baby died. The information is presented as part of police commentary on the circumstances surrounding the case and the response to earlier reports. The coverage does not change the basic timeline described: multiple welfare-related police attendances occur prior to the child’s death, and police maintain that the concerns escalated to the point where they feared for the mother’s life.
