A day after Kim Ye-ji won a silver medal in the 10-meter air pistol event at the Paris Olympics, she learned that the Internet had decided she was the coolest shooter on the planet.
JAKARTA: The emergence of alleged incidences of child abuse on social media platforms in recent weeks have put a negative spotlight on childcare services and facilities in the country, sparking public outrage and prompting many to urge the government to set competency standards and tighten oversight.
Child psychologist Annelia Sari Sani pointed to the low standards set for providers as a causal factor of cruel and abusive treatment at childcare facilities, which led to untrained employees resorting to violence in dealing with children exhibiting challenging behaviour.
While Annelia underlined that day care services with good facilities and trained workers existed, these services were generally expensive and not accessible to every household. She explained that she decided against sending her children to a day care centre because she didn’t know the workers’ skills or experience, adding that finding good caregivers was tricky.
