Sexuality educator says parents should seek consent from children before changing their nappies
Several people called out Deanne Carson as they viewed her advice to construe neglect and child abuse, with Sky News Australia's Rowan Dean calling her statements 'leftie lunacy'
A sexuality educator was slammed for suggesting parents should ask for the consent of their infant and toddler children before changing their diapers. Deanne Carson, an author and educator who is also the CEO of youth relationship service Body Safety Australia, was heavily criticized and mocked after she appeared on an ABC News segment and insisted families should set up "a culture of consent" at their homes.
According to Snopes, which confirmed the story, an off-screen interviewer asked Carson on lessons about consent and bodily autonomy "from birth," when she responded saying, "Yes, just about how to set up a culture of consent in their homes so, 'I’m going to change your nappy now, is that OK?'"
