From Morning Report, 8:43 am on 6 November 2019

Warning: Details in this story may be upsetting for some listeners.

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.

The inquiry investigating abuse in state and faith-based care heard yesterday from Dallas Pickering who detailed the violent abuse she experienced as a child publicly for the first time.

Katie Scotcher is covering the hearing and filed this report.
