| "and instead massively step up monitoring requirements for families" Pls have a family first and then see if you ask for more state governence into your life? It is true, most abuse happens in the family, but there is also schools, churches, sports clubs, ... But the thing is, if the schools for example would have the stuff, with enough time (and empathy) to care about the actual children and talk with them and interact with them (and not mainly the paperwork about them) - then you could easily spot abuse everywhere and take action. But they usually don't, so you have traumatized children coming into another hostile and cold environment called public school, where they just stonewall again and learn to hide their wounds and scars. Child abuse is a complex problem, with no simple solution. But I prefer a more human focused solution amd not just another surveillance stepup. Child abuseres also do not fall from the sky. If you pay more attention to them while they are young - you can spot it and help them, while they need help, before they turn into creepy monsters. |
