An important discussion has burst into our Australian psych. Everyone is talking about the rise in sexual harassment cases – stories emerging from our school yards to our parliament.

The Australian Christian Lobby urges Victorian members of parliament to resist any push to penalise mums, dads or others' faith-based discussion with their children, family or congregational members about issues of sexuality or gender.

Children typically learn their ABC’s at 4 or 5 years old. At that age it remains the responsibility of the village around them to protect them from anything that would harm them.

The film includes an 11-year-old child uploading an image of her genitals to a social media platform.

Netflix are promoting a movie that is coming 9 September, 'Cuties', about an 11 year old (Muslim) girl exploring her sexuality - she’s eleven!
