| Children as young as eight are being locked up in WA's secure unit for extremely troubled young people in care.
The $7.36 million Kath French Centre was opened in May 2011 to hold children aged from 12 to 18 deemed at risk of self-harm or a risk to the community for as long as six weeks at a time.
Department for Child Protection data reveals two eight-year-olds, three 10-year-olds and two 11-year-olds were among 39 children detained at the Stoneville centre over the past 10 months.
The centre gives children "intensive therapeutic intervention" from nurses, doctors, teachers and psychiatrists. But department figures show many children were held at the centre on more than one occasion over the past 10 months, with 50 admissions spread between 39 children.
