<\/p>\n\u201cShe was my world, she was my girl\u201d.<\/p>\n
These are the heartfelt words from a father who lost his young daughter way too soon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dominic Porter has been fighting a system he says has failed his family.\u00a0A Current Affair<\/p>\n
Bridgette Charlise Adele Porter, known as Biddy, died when she was just 10 at the hands of a 14-year-old girl<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ever since, her dad, Dominic Porter, has been fighting a system he says has failed his family.<\/p>\n It took the Porter family four years to overturn a suppression order<\/a>, allowing them to talk publicly about their daughter.<\/p>\n \u201cThe suppression order that was apparently there to protect us did f— all, it did absolutely nothing to protect us,\u201d Porter said.<\/p>\n \u201cIt protected the perpetrator and her family, and that\u2019s all it\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n Porter can\u2019t get the police interview<\/a> with his daughter\u2019s killer out of his head.<\/p>\n \u201cOverrun with anger and wanting to take out revenge, I\u2019ll be 100 per cent honest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI got to a point where I knew I was ready to do something that was violent and criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n The 14-year-old girl was found guilty but not criminally responsible for Biddy\u2019s death due to mental impairment.<\/p>\n \u201cWe just felt like we were misled by the DPP (Director of Public Prosecutions), and the whole process,\u201d Porter said.<\/p>\n \u201cThis sums up the last six years as well, the whole process is too hard for people to comprehend.<\/p>\n Biddy (pictured) died at the hands of a 14-year-old girl.\u00a0A Current Affair<\/p>\n \u201cWe went through several years where we legally weren\u2019t allowed to say Biddy\u2019s name.<\/p>\n \u201cIt just makes no sense.\u201d<\/p>\n The conviction meant the killer was put under the care of the mental health tribunal.<\/p>\n Now, every six months, Biddy\u2019s family has to front up for a review of her mental state.<\/p>\n Before Biddy\u2019s murder, Porter was a bank manager.<\/p>\n He will never forget the day the police turned up to break the news.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to do, I couldn\u2019t process it,\u201d Porter said.<\/p>\n For years, Dominic wasn’t allowed to say his murdered daughter’s name.\u00a0A Current Affair<\/p>\n Porter\u2019s life crumbled and he eventually lost his job.<\/p>\n He was then diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).<\/p>\n Over time, Porter\u2019s mental health deteriorated, and he tried to take his own life.<\/p>\n \u201cI couldn\u2019t do it anymore, I just wanted to be with Biddy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n While his life fell apart, his daughter\u2019s killer was receiving treatment and care.<\/p>\n He said she was even placed on the National Disability Insurance Scheme<\/a> (NDIS).<\/p>\n \u201cIn my mind, it just doesn\u2019t pass the pub test,\u201d Porter said.<\/p>\n Dominic’s life crumbled after Biddy was killed.\u00a0A Current Affair<\/p>\n \u201cWhy is the perpetrator or criminal given much more rights than the victim?<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re forced to fund all this stuff ourselves, which is impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n Porter applied for, and received, a $300,000 NDIS package.<\/p>\n He was promised the budget would be managed and he wouldn\u2019t have to worry.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought, $300,000, there\u2019s no way in three years I\u2019m gonna ever access or need to spend that.\u201d<\/p>\n But according to Porter, his NDIS package is a joke.<\/p>\n He said it doesn\u2019t cover one thing he so desperately needs: therapy for the mental burden he now carries.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s roughly about $200,000 worth of funding there, rough figures, that I can\u2019t use for the therapies that I actually need,\u201d Porter said.<\/p>\n Porter even had to threaten self-harm before he was taken seriously.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s not justice, and that\u2019s not morally right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He says navigating the NDIS quagmire has been a massive hurdle.<\/p>\n \u201cI come from a corporate background, I can\u2019t get my head around it,\u201d Porter said.<\/p>\n Porter wants the system for victims of crime changed.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think victims should actually be managed under the NDIS,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Dominic wants his daughter Biddy to be remembered.\u00a0A Current Affair<\/p>\n \u201cPersonally, I think there should be a whole separate thing for especially heinous crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n An inquest into Biddy\u2019s killing is about to be held.<\/p>\n![\"She](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/56400e8e9802ff1c041c955d414bbfe8bc073a01d22d71ea3e02aa2f9d9d573b.jpeg\")
