That’s the same excuse people who hit their kids use. You could have turned out even better, with better care and education.
As for tracking nappy changes, it can help with assessing any health issues and tracking long term trends, it’s useful for toileting as we can see how frequently and volume of accidents to help understand their needs for prompting, it’s useful for parents to know if for example they’re going out straight away and need to change before hand, and it’s useful for child protection (our records show that this educator changed the nappy at the time of the incident etc).

No, that’s not sufficient. I’m sorry you were let down by the educational standards at the time.
- Comment on Incident 3 days ago:
Yes.
The current advice I’m given in Australia these days is that it’s better for children to sleep and be monitored than kept up and to become exhausted.
If we had genuine belief that a child had a concussion and not just hit themselves on a fall (happens daily), we would ask for the child to be collected by parents.

Management can not just slot in to replace an educator.
Especially not when you have 6 rooms of adults picking their kids up after finishing work at 5.
The simple matter of fact is there is not enough time to talk to ~20 families each evening and give a summary of their kids day.

We log this information for a whole host of reasons. Many parents sadly don't get the chance to speak to an educator in depth to discuss their kids day, tracking medical needs, etc. A lot of parents don't even look at this, but it's useful to have if it's ever needed.
My only complaint, and this extends to all the genuinely important paper work we have to do is that we never get enough time to be off floor to do it.

We cannot undo it, but we can start to fix it and work on a more equal way of living which is exactly what is being done here.

Colonialism is theft, embrace undoing it.

And yet the Australian government has had exclusive right to it for the past 100 years.
This sets a precedent of sharing the land with different groups.

As much as it sounds horrible, this is the best solution to tackling the issue. The stigmatization around the 'mental illness', could prevent potential future abusers from seeking help before they act.

A WWCC is simply a background check. It cannot tell if a person is good or going to commit a crime in the future.
The solution is to end for-profit centres and promote even higher ratios to ensure educators are supported and that there is never a situation for one to be alone with children to commit such an act.

This is probably one of the most prolific cases in a long time. I hope the children are sll okay.
