National Children’s Commissioner Anne Hollonds is urging a national response to revelations about dangerous practices and regulatory failings across Australia’s childcare sector.

"We must urgently address any serious gaps in the regulatory scaffolding and child safeguarding framework that allows physical, sexual and emotional abuse of children in early childhood centres to continue unnoticed or unaddressed.

“Putting babies, toddlers and young kids at risk because of regulatory failings is unacceptable and we need urgent government action across our federation to address these dangerous gaps in how we protect children in this country.

“By not making child safety and wellbeing a priority for National Cabinet, we’re allowing our youngest citizens to fall into these gaps created by jurisdictional boundaries as well as fragmentation and complexity in the childcare industry.

“As I have consistently said, our whole approach to child safety and wellbeing in this country is in desperate need of systemic reform, and this includes our childcare sector.

“Governments need to stop tinkering around the edges and make the safety and wellbeing of children a priority for National Cabinet so we have accountability and evidence-based approaches at the heart of how we protect our kids and provide opportunities for them to thrive.”

Unseen Japan: Japan Cancels Billion-Yen AI Child Abuse Detection System After Failed Tests . “The Agency trained the system on 5,000 cases of confirmed child abuse. Based on information provided on new cases, the system was supposed to judge the likelihood of abuse based on 91 data points, including injuries found on the child and the parents’ attitude, using a scoring system of 0 to 100.

CHILD SAFETY

Let me preface this by saying I'm not a parent and never will be.

I was just out for my walk (which was cut short cos too cold). It happened to be when the kids got let out of school so I saw several girls 11-13 walking home together. They all were looking at phones.

That phone, I considered, is a direct access line to hell, to misogynists, rapists, pedophiles - and that's only to mention presidents and rich men. Who knows who they are talking to or being contacted by? But, just as bad, who knows what views and attitudes they are ingesting regularly, systematically, on a constant basis? As an example, it wasn't old people who killed the trans teen Brianna Ghey. It was teenagers. It was teenagers who had learned to hate.

Would I give my 11-13 year old their own phone? I highly doubt it. What goes in your head has effects and I would not want any child of mine exposed to the sewer before they had grown and developed to a certain ethical and intellectual maturity.

You wouldn't let a person of that age have sex so why let them have access to the sewer?
