The New South Wales government has apologized for leaving two foster children, aged 12 and 14, in a home with convicted triple killer Regina Arthurell. The situation came to light after a radio station revealed Arthurell had been living with the children. A report in December had already warned the government about the potential risk. NSW Minister for Families and Communities, Kate Washington, confirmed Arthurell was removed from the home this week. The government's delay in acting on the report prompted the apology.
