Cases of violence and abuse in Australian kindergartens have started to occur more frequently. In recent years, caregivers in several states have been accused of sexual and physical abuse against children.
Recently, in the state of Victoria, one caregiver was accused of assaulting eight infants. This case led to more than 2000 children undergoing medical examinations.
Experts point to weak oversight and systemic gaps as the causes of these incidents. Some caregivers are being hired without necessary background checks, which puts safety at risk.
The public is proposing the installation of surveillance cameras and additional control measures for male caregivers. Parents support increasing transparency and trust.
The Australian government has started linking financial assistance to monitoring requirements. However, experts emphasize that this is not enough to protect children, and stricter measures are necessary.
