A former state coroner and victims' rights commissioner say the death of a six-year-old Adelaide girl from suspected neglect was history repeating itself and not enough had been done to improve the child protection system.
It comes as the ABC was told by those who know the mother that they had reported their concern for the health and wellbeing of her children to the Department for Child Protection (DCP).
The Minister for Child Protection Katrine Hildyard has been contacted for comment.
Ms Hildyard has been in a meeting this morning to be briefed on the investigation.
