Based on records, the number of young sex offenders has increased from 1200 in 2011,
to 2000 in 2015 across Australia.

Last year, [Kidspot](http://www.kidspot.com.au/parenting/real-life/in-the-news/two-boys-of-12-charged-with-raping-a-six-year-old-girl-at-primary-school)
reported that two 12-year-old boys were accused of raping a nine-year-old girl at
a Sydney school.

Meanwhile, in October last year, the _Courier-Mail_ reported a distressing case 
where a nine-year-old boy assaulted a four-year-old girl in Queensland.
