In a Facebook post responding to her detractors, Carson reiterated the significance of teaching consent to young children, emphasizing the urgency of her message with shocking sexual assault statistics.
Despite her passionate appeal, Carson’s comments have elicited both support and criticism from online users, underscoring the divisive character of her support.
Some have praised Carson’s commitment to preventing abuse and advocating for children’s rights, while others have denounced her strategy as being excessive and irrational.
Kirralie Smith, a former senatorial candidate from New South Wales, even went so far as to call Carson’s plan “neglect and child abuse,” claiming that it ignores the realities of childcare and baby cleanliness.
