'House of horrors' kids unknown to SA SIX children who were starved and abused in Adelaide's "house of horrors" were virtually unknown to South Australian authorities, a review has found. But agencies did have "very small amounts of information" about the large household the children moved into in 2008, the head of the Child Death and Serious Injury Review Committee, Deej Eszenyi, said on Friday. If those government departments had shared the information, "there was a possibility that the house might have been entered before the crimes against these children occurred," she said. Child Development Minister Jennifer Rankine said the government had accepted "in full or in principle" the committee's 32 recommendations to better protect children. The "house of horrors," uncovered in 2008, was one of the worst abuse cases seen in SA, with five adults jailed over the serious harm suffered by six children inside the Housing Trust home. The six siblings were among 21 children living in the house, which was infested with cockroaches, flies and maggots. The six, who were fed only scraps of food over a four-month period, were underweight, infected with scabies and had open sores on their legs and ulcers on their feet. They were forced to stand in line with their hands on their heads and were fed just enough to keep them alive, risking being slapped and choked if they tried to get more. Ms Eszenyi said the committee reviewed extensive government records in relation to the household. "We have not observed that anything went wrong," she said. Our review has demonstrated to us that these children were virtually unknown to the system. They had moved into the house from Victoria. Ms Eszenyi said Housing SA had some reports of the conditions in the household, but they were not from the time the six children were present. The committee did not prepare a report on the circumstances of the case, such as whether government agencies had visited the household and if so, when and why. The minister said such information had already been reported in the press. Ms Eszenyi said the committee's job was not to ask whether anyone did anything wrong.
