An elaborate fake childcare scheme allegedly scammed $4 million in government childcare subsidies in just eight months

Red Roses Family Day Care purported to look after dozens of children in homes across Sydney, but police claim not a single one was actually in its care.

Instead, the more than 150 members pretended to look after each others' children and claimed the rebate of up to $146 a week per child, police allege.

Rewards were so lucrative that director Alee Farmann, 49, allegedly pocketed $60,000 a month and drove a brand new Range Rover.

The syndicate is accused of going to extraordinary lengths to conceal the operation that put bikie gangs to shame.

'We saw a level of sophistication or coordination in this that we don't see in outlaw motorcycle gangs,' Acting Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith said.

'It created time sheets, it had photographs of children that were not in care. It had mock-up areas, it had an administrative structure and rostering - like anything else in a legitimate business.

'However, the whole thing was a fraud

Assistant Commissioner Smith said the company designed processes to evade authorities and 'defeat' physical and phone auditing by the NSW Education Department, which regulates the scheme in the state.

He said if one site was audited, the rest of the syndicate would find out by the end of the day and get ready to comply with any subsequent audit.

The whole alleged plot came crashing down on Wednesday when police arrested 18 people in 23 raids from southwest Sydney to Wollongong

All but one of the three men aged 24, 40 and 49, and 15 women aged 21 to 44, were charged - three with directing and 14 with participating in a criminal group.

They included alleged ringleader Farmann, and Zina Mohammad, 44.

One of the women allegedly had $35,000 cash in her handbag when she was arrested at her home in South Granville.

The cash and Range Rover were seized along with large volumes of documentation, including business records, and two electronic control devices

The properties included one house that only had electricity for six days in February and never housed any children.

More than 150 parents laid claims to rebate from the federal government - each one having between three and seven children - who could be next on police hit lists.
'There are legitimate children's names and entities… they just weren't being cared for. The whole thing was a structured business,' Assistant Commissioner Smith said.

'What we've taken out yesterday were the (alleged) professional facilitators behind this syndicate and we won't rule out further interviews and we won't rule out further significant arrests.'

Police discovered a number of 'vulnerabilities' during their investigation and are working with state and federal education departments to address them.




Typical Leb/Muslim shonks! Always scheming to rip somebody off!

Alien quack, 62, is found guilty of having sex with female patients and giving them 'unnecessary examinations'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7026839/Sydney-doctor-guilty-having-sex-patients-giving-unnecessary-examinations.html

A Sydney-based doctor has been found guilty of 18 sex offences including sexual intercourse without the consent of multiple female patients under his authority

Sharif Fattah, 62, had denied 30 charges of sexual or indecent assault committed during medical consultations in the six months from September 2016.

He gave evidence the allegations were incorrect, untrue and 'absolutely wrong

But a NSW District Court jury on Tuesday found him guilty of 18 of the charges.

These include 13 counts of sexual intercourse without consent and five counts of assault with act of indecency

He was found not guilty of the 12 other offences
Fattah was accused of performing medically unnecessary examinations on the women for his own sexual gratification but argued at trial each had a 'proper medical purpose'.

The 16 female complainants, who each gave evidence, were aged between 19 and 40

Two men are wanted over an alleged attack against a man and a woman that left the couple with facial injuries in Adelaide’s western suburbs.

The victims were treated for head lacerations and other face injuries at Queen Elizabeth Hospital about 9.30pm on Thursday. They believe they were assaulted with a hammer or metal bar.

Police interviewed the 35-year-old man and 30-year-old woman, but the couple was reluctant to provide details about the incident, which occurred outside their East Ave home at Allenby Gardens

Of the two suspects, one is described as caucasian, 185cm tall with a slim build. He was wearing a light coloured top and grey trackpants, possibly carrying a hammer. The second male is possibly of Asian appearance, about 170cm tall with a stocky build. He was wearing dark clothing.

Police say the incident is not considered random.

Children as young as 12 are running rampant in Australia's major cities, racking up hefty damage bills and terrorising innocent families without any fear of punishment. 

Businesses and frustrated home owners are speaking out against young thugs who wreak havoc on their neighbourhoods, as the Australian government considers increasing the age of criminal responsibility.

As it currently stands, children can be found criminally responsible for their actions from the age of 10, but some advocacy groups are working to push this age up to 16.

The worry for many is that by doing so, young children will have even less to fear from lawmakers, leading to increased violence on the streets. 

Staff at Australia's 'most dangerous Westfield' in Fountain Gate, in Melbourne's south-east, say they are fed up with young criminals escaping punishment.

'One hundred per cent it is affecting our sales quite a lot,' one Westfield staffer told A Current Affair.

'Ideally, I want to see them punished. You've done a crime, you need to be punished for it'.

A fleet of security guards often patrol the Narre Warren mall, dubbed the 'most unsafe' in Victoria.

Concerned business owners said they are virtually helpless when gangs of up to a dozen teenagers storm their stores, damaging and stealing items


Several retailers confessed their stores had been 'ransacked' in recent weeks and a poll of 3000 locals found 74 per cent admitted they steered clear of the centre due to the common violence.

'They literally went through and flipped up all the tables and chairs and I was too scared to do anything as we were afraid of what will happen,' one cafe worker said.

One woman said her 14-year-old son was mugged by a gang of six teenagers in the food court last month, while another 14-year-old girl was sexually assaulted nearby in a brazen daylight attack in 2016.

The violence isn't just limited to shopping centres in Melbourne, with confronting footage showing teenagers and youths in Melbourne, western Sydney and Darwin running riot in public places and on private properties.

In one clip Jenny Fenech, a terrified shopper at Palmerston mall in Darwin, caught a 12-year-old boy's violent outburst after he consumed alcohol.

She was dumbfounded that staff and security didn't step in to stop the boy, only to learn later that they legally aren't allowed.

At one point the boy, who was using anything in his path to smash shop windows, threw a shard of glass at Ms Fenech.

The 12-year-old boy was eventually subdued and arrested by officers, but was later released

As the law currently stands, the boy could have been found criminally responsible for his actions.

But a movement is in motion to see that age raised to 16, with some arguing children below that age aren't fully aware of the consequences of their actions.

Human Rights Law Centre's Ruth Barson told Channel Nine that children aren't capable of understanding the severity of their actions until at least 14.

'Doctors are clear that when it comes to children who are under the age of 14, there brain has not developed enough to the point where they should not be held criminally responsible,' she said


'What we know is that right now, every year in Australia, 600 children under the age of 14 are locked up behind bars, and around 10,000 children are prosecuted by police, hauled before the courts and sentenced.'

Former Victoria Police inspector Ivan Ray argued raising the age would be disastrous for innocent and hardworking Australians.

'The kids of today with the exposure to social media have much greater understanding of what is right and wrong at a much younger age,' he said, claiming only a small minority of children end up in prison for their indiscretions.

Sydneysiders from the northern beaches to the western suburbs are fearing for their safety as increasing amounts of youth violence infringe on their personal lives.

The violence has gotten so bad in Sydney's northern beaches that a top cop was forced to write a letter begging parents to look after their alcohol and drug-addled children

Northern Beaches Commander Superintendent Dave Darcy wrote a letter to principals from schools in the area pleading with them and parents to control their children.

'There has been a significant deterioration in the behaviour of young people in the area. Teens, ages ranging from 13 to 18, from local schools, are out at all hours of the night, fuelled up on alcohol and drugs, both illegal and prescription,' he wrote in the letter

Meanwhile, CCTV footage caught three young vandals drinking from glass bottles and smashing car windows parked in a Blacktown driveway in the city's west after unsuccessfully attempting to break into the home.

Homeowners Harry and Elizabeth said the incident was the second time their property had been vandalised, and left them fearing for their safety.

They opted to stay with family in Baulkham Hills after the incident, which left two of their cars with broken windshields and rear window damage.

The most recent data shows approximately 8,900 children between the ages of 10 to 13 were either charged or issued cautions, the Australian Bureau of Statistics found.

Of those, approximately 2,800 had charges finalised in the Children’s Court

'Such a low age is in breach of human rights standards and puts Australia out of step with the rest of the world, where the median age is 14 years,' the Human Rights Law Centre argues
