'If this was a white person’s baby, a lot more would have been done,' Tamica Mullaley says before human rights proceedings against WA Police in the federal court.

When police were called to assist Tamica Mullaley following a domestic violence incident in March 2013, they found her with blood on her face and visible bruising, covered only in a sheet.

"We’re doing this because we need justice and the police need to be held accountable for not looking for my son," Ms Mullaley said."But he was still missing and the police had done nothing. I had to go to the police station straight from the hospital when I should have been going in for surgery."found police failures had contributed to a delayed and ineffective response on the night of March 19 and morning of March 20, 2013, but that no serious misconduct took place.

About midnight, a police officer allegedly said words to the effect of "come back in the morning" and "talk to the Aboriginal Liaison Officer". "If a non-Aboriginal baby had been found at the scene of a violent assault with the mother lying on the ground, naked, wrapped in a bloodied sheet ... officers would have made reasonable attempts to transfer the baby to a parent, guardian or relative rather than to two acquaintances and failing that would have placed the baby under police supervision."
