The AFP and Victoria Police have acknowledged a court ruling criticising them for attempting to radicalise a vulnerable 13-year-old with autism who was fixated on Islamic State. 

In her ruling in the Victorian Children's Court, the magistrate said police attempted to radicalise the teenage boy for the purposes of gaining evidence to prosecute him. He was later charged with terror offences. 

The magistrate dismissed the charges saying the conduct of police fell "profoundly short of the minimum standards expected of law enforcement."
