Expert Claims Parents Should Ask Babies For Consent Before Changing Their Diapers

Author and educator Deanne Carson has sparked a heated debate after suggesting that parents should seek consent from babies before changing their diapers.

Carson’s remarks, aired on ABC News, advocated for instilling a “culture of consent” from infancy. While some praise her efforts to promote bodily autonomy early on, others dismiss her stance as impractical.

Host Rowan Dean of Sky News Australia’s “Outsiders” show labeled the idea as “leftie lunacy,” igniting further criticism.

Despite the backlash, Carson stands by her position, emphasizing the importance of teaching consent to young children amid growing concerns about sexual assault. The debate underscores conflicting views on childcare practices and parental responsibilities.
