Childcare centres must put child protection above profits and fears of appearing biased against men | Delanie Woodlock and Lenka Olejnikova for the Conversation
The article discusses the recent case of a Victorian childcare worker charged with over 70 alleged offences against children, including rape. It highlights that while families are difficult to regulate, institutions that work with children can be effectively regulated, making child sexual abuse entirely preventable. The article emphasizes that the focus should be on child protection, not on the gender of the accused. It notes that as 1,200 children await results to see if they've been exposed to infectious diseases, the priority should be on ensuring the safety and well-being of the children, rather than on concerns about how the case might impact male childcare workers. The article argues that childcare centres must put child protection above profits and fears of appearing biased against men, as the safety of children should be the primary concern.
