Dangerous: Appearing on Australian television Tuesday, sexuality expert Deanne Carson raised eyebrows across the planet with a bizarre claim.
Carson, who describes herself as “a leading Australian sexuality educator, researcher, speaker, author and ultimate keeper of a straight face when dispelling children’s misconceptions about bodies and baby making,” told ABC that parents should ask their baby’s consent before changing their diapers.
She called it an important step to establish a “culture of consent” in the home.
Carson instructed parents to make eye contact with their infants, and ask, “‘I’m going to change your nappy now, is that okay?’ Of course the baby is not going to respond ‘yes mum, that’s awesome. I’d love to have my nappy changed,’” she said.
“But if you leave a space, and wait for body language and wait to make eye contact, then you’re letting that child know that their response matters.”

What the...?
Now, i don't have children, but i think the diaper has to be changed anyway. What if the baby's body language replies "no" and the diaper is dirty and health issues arise?

I will wait until the parents of the child with autism who cannot make eye contact in order to give this consent get charged with horrible abuse and neglect.
Then there is my cousin's daughter who absolutely hated, HATED to have her diaper changed. No matter what, she wasn't going to consent to any of it at any time. So what then?

I know right, when I picture the average American I think of those swamp dwelling gator eating types from the TV show, or the peppers show cause they reflect the intelligence of the average American, right... ..
