An Uncontrollable Child

Reggie Sultan

After running away and stealing cars, Reggie Sultan was described as 'an uncontrollable child'. Reggie tells his story of boys homes, of his escapes, being sent to gaol, his work as a stockman, and his development as an Aboriginal artist.

Trauma warning: This archive contains material relating to care experience including references to abuse, neglect, sexual violence, and institutional harm.

 

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
