    800?

    Eight. Fucking. Hundred?

    Ban me. I don’t give a fuck. If someone abused anywhere near 800 children then they just need to die. We are infinitely better off without.

        I just don’t understand how working at 27 childcare centers within eight years wasn’t a red flag……

          The for-profit childcare system in Australia is profoundly broken. They’re chronically understaffed and the pay is awful to boot, so there’s tons of burnout and staff turnaround as people move around trying to get hours at different locations, etc. I don’t know that 27 different gigs over a decade is actually that unusual in the sector.

          If you’re interested, ABC News Australia did an article on it:

          Fair warning, there are some pretty unpleasant descriptions in the article of things that have been done to kids in the system.

      I think that they mean they’re testing the entire population of kids they could have come in contact with and not that they actually came in contact with all of them. Better safe than sorry kinda thing.
