    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.

    “Earlier this month Victorian police revealed the 26-year-old childcare worker had been charged with more than 70 offences relating to eight alleged victims, aged between five months and two years old.”

    “Approximately 2,600 families with children who attended the centres were contacted, with 1,200 advised to undergo screening for sexually transmitted infections.”

    This piece of trash deserves a slow and painful death in a rotted jail cell. I work with kids, and I would completely loose it if I learnt that one of my colleagues had done anything remotely sexually inappropriate. I just don’t understand how could they get away with it for so long! I just want to yell, and cry. I can’t imagine what all those parents are going through right now…

      Death penalty should be given to these individuals. No need to rehabilitate. Thanks but we’re good without him.

      Try to expand your stance then. When I mention I’m against the death penalty, I usually preface it with something like “there are absolutely people in the world that deserve to die and the world would be a better place with them gone”. For me a lot of the problem comes from trusting the system which has gotten things horrifically wrong in the past. So you can acknowledge that someone actually guilty of certain crimes should die.

        I don’t think there should be a death penalty, for pretty much the exact same reasons. You can’t un-kill people as necromancy isn’t a thing… yet. However I am not above getting angry and venting by writing a slightly edgy comment.
