Hard to know exactly what’s happened here.
It’s great that there’s a high level of scrutiny on this sort of facility and that there’s transparency around incidents like this.
The report found youth justice officers used measures to “coerce [the child] into compliance” while trying to get them to move blocks, including tactics that amounted to “psychological pressure intended to intimidate or humiliate”.
The report said the child had pled for food over the intercom during the first 24 hours of separation, saying they “hadn’t eaten all day”, and was refused food unless they moved to a different block.
Obviously intimidating or humiliating a child is unacceptable. The article doesn’t really provide any more detail about that. Withholding food to get the kid to move to another block seems like a sensible strategy though.
