They say parents should ask ‘from birth’ 😯Check in first comment👇
Australian “sexuality educator” Deanne Carson sparked controversy by suggesting parents ask their babies for consent before changing diapers. While she acknowledges infants can’t verbally respond, Carson argues it’s about promoting respect and body autonomy from birth.
Her idea—asking aloud and pausing to observe the baby’s reaction—aims to foster early communication and trust. Critics, however, slammed the approach as impractical and extreme, calling it “lefty lunacy” and “confusing.”

Online reactions were mixed. Some mocked the idea, comparing it to asking pets for permission. Others defended Carson’s intent, saying it encourages respectful parenting, even if the example is a stretch.
In the end, the debate highlights evolving views on consent and parenting. Whether seen as thoughtful or over-the-top, Carson’s message has certainly gotten people talking.
