[Excerpt] We recently conducted a rapid evidence review on educational programs that focus on child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention (Trew et al., 2021). In that review, we learned that child-focused CSA prevention education could be enhanced by looking at how to improve the parent engagement or involvement. We know from a previous review (Hunt & Walsh, 2011), that parents’ views about CSA prevention education are important. But further evidence is needed to develop concrete strategies for strengthening parent engagement in appropriate and effective ways. As identified in the above-mentioned review (Trew et al., 2021), prominent researchers in the CSA prevention field have noted that if prevention efforts are to be successful, it is imperative to include parents (Hunter, 2011; Mendelson & Letourneau, 2015; J. Rudolph & M.J. Zimmer-Gembeck, 2018; Wurtele & Kenny, 2012). This research focuses on two complementary aspects of parent engagement in CSA prevention: (i) parent participation in parent-focused CSA prevention (ii) parent participation in school-based or child-focused CSA prevention.

In December 2024, Australia rewrote the rules of growing up. Children under sixteen may learn to drive, open a bank account, and even face criminal charges—yet the Australian Government considers them too young to scroll through Instagram or send a Snapchat. With the enactment of the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act 2024, Australia became the first country to introduce an outright ban on social media access for those under sixteen. This bold legislative move has attracted global attention, with several countries reportedly considering similar measures. Through a critical analysis of Australia’s social media ban, this article provides global policymakers with key insights into its design and implications. While well intentioned, the law raises serious human rights concerns, particularly in relation to children’s freedoms of expression, association, and peaceful assembly, as well as their rights to education, development, culture, leisure, play, health, and privacy. This article argues that Australia’s social media ban sets a dangerous precedent for global digital governance. Recognizing that social media can both empower and endanger children, this article makes the case for a holistic, rights-based approach to online safety. It calls on policymakers to give primary consideration to children's rights and diverse needs, ensuring that they place their best interests at the center of all regulatory efforts. It further contends that the success of this approach depends on sustained, coordinated efforts from all stakeholders: governments, online service providers, families, communities, and children themselves. To this end, this article highlights five key strategies to improve children's online safety: (1) strengthening legislative protections for human rights in general and children's rights in particular; (2) introducing a statutory duty of care requiring online service providers to safeguard children's digital wellbeing; (3) ensuring the meaningful participation of children as rights holders in shaping relevant digital policies and practices; (4) embedding online safety education across formal and informal learning settings to build children's digital resilience; and (5) promoting family and community engagement in supporting children's rights and wellbeing in the digital environment. In conclusion, this article underscores that protecting children online must move away from blanket bans and instead adopt a holistic, rights-based framework—one that not only protects children from online harms but also upholds their rights and best interests in the digital world.

The world needs to pay attention to children who often become victims of violence and cannot escape social problems. Various safety devices that are commonly known as smart wearable devices have been created, but they still have many shortcomings. Thus, in this research a safety device that can be held by children is designed and is equipped with a button that can be pressed, then it will automatically send the location and photo of the scene to the parent's cellphone via the telegram application. It uses the Raspberry Pi Zero W controller, the GNSS HMC5983 SAW LNA GPS Module to determine the location, and the 5MP Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Module to capture the incident. Based on the results, the average time needed to share locations is 0.91 seconds, and the average time needed to capture is 11.57 seconds, if the device and receiving cellphone use the same network. Additionally, the average time needed to share locations is 0.96 seconds, and the average time needed to capture is 12.09 seconds, if the device and receiving cellphone use a different network. Both conditions have 97.5% location accuracy rate and 100% photo accuracy rate.

All children's products are subject to a set of federal safety rules, called children's product safety rules.It is important to classify the product to identify correctly the set of children's product safety rules applicable to the product.As for the online transactions, there is a federal agency called the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which is responsible to regulate e-commerce activities, including use of commercial emails, online advertising and consumer privacy.In Malaysia, there is no specific law which governs both online transaction and children product safety.The general laws applicable for online transaction are the Electronic Commerce Act 2006, Contracts Act 1950, and Sale of Goods Act 1957 whilst the general law regulating children product safety would be the Consumer Protection Act 1999.This paper discuss the general laws which are applicable in Malaysia related to online transaction of children product and to highlight the legal issues on product safety which arises or might arises due to the current regulatory framework.This paper adopts the statutory analysis and doctrinal analysis research methodology.

This contribution to the Forum examines the sudden backlash against the Online Safety Act in those right-wing newspapers which had long clamoured for online censorship and demanded that legislation such as this should be introduced. The article suggests that their concern about children watching porn online rapidly evaporated when they came to see the Act as offering an opportunity to attack the Labour Government, propagandize on behalf of a form of free speech fundamentalism, and express their support for Donald Trump. The article argues that there is a significant difference between libertarian free speech fundamentalism and the concern for freedom of expression based firmly on human rights principles, which I outlined in my recent Porn Studies article ‘Porn and the OSA: What about the Children?’
Cough is a common symptom in pediatric patients, often requiring effective and well-tolerated antitussive treatments.Although traditional agents like dextromethorphan and codeine are effective, they are associated with side effects likedrowsiness, nausea, and dependency risks. Levocloperastine (LCP), a nonopioid antitussive, has emerged as a safer alternativewith a dual mechanism of action targeting both central and peripheral pathways. This manuscript highlights the findings froman online survey that gathered insights from Indian physicians regarding their perceptions of LCP's safety and efficacy inchildren aged 2 to 15 years. The survey data came from 161 physicians through a structured electronic questionnaire. Resultsindicated high physician confidence in LCP's rapid onset of action, tolerability, and minimal side effects. Notably, 86.6%of participants prescribed LCP in their clinical practice to the children, with 69.6% finding it faster-acting than traditionalagents. Additionally, 80.7% reported reduced night-time sleep disruptions, and 96.9% found it well-tolerated in pediatricpatients. These findings align with existing literature and reinforce LCP's role as a preferred antitussive in pediatric coughmanagement.
The coronavirus pandemic has inevitably led to more time spent online, which will have increased the risk of children and teenagers being exposed to cyberbullying and harmful content, among other issues. This article examines available data on the effects of the pandemic on children as a result of their online activity and looks at what schools and child health professionals may need to anticipate in terms of children's mental health following the pandemic.
