The family of 17-year-old Indigenous boy who died in 1988 is relieved following the outcome of an inquest into his death.

NSW Deputy Coroner, Harriet Grahame has found racist attitudes affected the police investigation into the death of Mark Haines.

She found the investigation was flawed and it's likely Mark's case would have been handled differently if he was white.

Other Highlights:
There's been a 350 per cent increase in the number of children reaching crisis point before asking for help.
A song co-written by Indigenous kids in Brewarrina New South Wales is preserving their traditional language - and sharing it with kids at schools across the country.
NAISDA is celebrating it's 50th birthday.
