Psychological effect of lockdowns on children are not ‘adequately’ considered

Sky News host Rita Panahi says the psychological effects on children are not being “adequately” considered when “we weigh up the cost-benefit analysis of lockdowns”. Child Psychologist Clare Rowe told Sky News Australia there had been a 30 to 40 per cent spike in children presentation to emergency wards for things like self-harm, suicidal ideation. “We’re not going to know the impact of that harm for some time to come,” Ms Panahi said. “There’s also been a spike in children being abused, people abusing their own children in lockdown. “And also online predators who’ve got far greater access to children because they’re at home on their devices all day. “So all sorts of issues which just aren’t being adequately looked at when we weigh up the cost-benefit analysis of lockdowns.” If you or anyone you know needs help: Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800 Lifeline 13 11 14 Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636 Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
