Protecting children with disabilities from sexual assault. a parents guideModell Consulting Group
MCG focuses on educating professionals from multidisciplinary teams on every aspect of an investigation and giving team members skills to effectively interview training, investigate, and prosecute crimes against individuals with disabilities.
Religion and medicine have historically gone hand in hand, but increasingly have come into conflict in the U.S. as health care has become both more secular and more heavily regulated. Law has a dual role here, simultaneously generating conflict between religion and health care, for example through new coverage mandates or legally permissible medical interventions that violate religious norms, while also acting as a tool for religious accommodation and protection of conscience.
This conference identified the various ways in which law intersects with religion and health care in the United States, examined the role of law in creating or mediating conflict between religion and health care, and explored potential legal solutions to allow religion and health care to simultaneously flourish in a culturally diverse nation.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Legal rights and obligations of
parents and children
The Nature of Family Law
2. Rights of Children
Include things like:
the right to be safe
to be treated with affection
to be educated
to have medical care, and
to be protected against cruelty and abuse.
Parents are there to protect children’s rights until
they are old enough to make their own way in the
world.
3. Responsibilities of Parents
Parents have a duty to:
protect their child from harm
provide their child with food, clothing and a place to live
financially support their child
provide safety, supervision and control
provide medical care
provide an education.
4. Rights of Parents
The law allows parents to bring up their children
according to their own values and beliefs. This
means that parents have the right to make decisions
about how they bring up their children without
interference unless there are very good reasons and
the child’s wellbeing is at risk.
Decisions such as religion, schooling, discipline,
medical treatment and where a child lives are a
parent’s right and responsibility to make. These
decisions will not be interfered with unless, for
example, a child is badly treated, is not receiving
education, is not allowed medical treatment when it
is needed or there is an order by a court.
5. STATE INTERVENTION
When the family is not able to, or fails to provide
adequate care and protection for children, the State
may intervene in various ways.
These include:
assessing and determining parents’ obligations to support
children financially and enforcing those obligations
mandating school attendance for school-age children
initiating investigations and court action to determine
whether there is any need to intervene to protect the child
(as a last resort) by removing children from the care of
their parents.
6. Specific Legislation
Children and Young Persons (Care
and Protection) Act 1998 (NSW)
Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) - see
Division 10 for sexual offences

8. NGO - National Association for Prevention
of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN)
10. Marion’s Case Secretary of the Department of Health
and Community Services v JWB and SMB
“Marion” was a 14yo girl with intellectual disabilities,
severe deafness, epilepsy and other disorders
Her parents asked the Family Court for permission to
give Marion a hysterctomy
Was not an issue of “is this in the best interests of the
child”, but “who has the right to make this decision” – the
parents, Marion, or the Family Court.
The parents argued argued that the decision to sterilise a
child is not too different from other major decisions that
parents and guardians have to make for children . Their
argument was that, provided such a procedure is in the
best interests of the child, parents as guardians can give
lawful consent to a sterilisation on behalf of a mentally
incompetent child.
11. In the case, the High Court ruled that whilst parents
may consent to medical treatment for their children,
this authority does not extend to treatment which is
not in the child’s best interests.
Second, the Court held that where medical treatment
has sterilisation as its principal objective, parents do
not have the authority to consent on behalf of their
child.
12. Re Alex
Alex was a 13yo female, and a ward of the state (Victoria)
Alex was diagnosed as experiencing the condition called
"Gender Indentiy Disorder" (known commonly as
"Transsexualism")
Alex applied to the Family Court for permission to undergo
hormonal medical treatment to “affirm” his male sexual identity.
The key issue was whether the Victorian State Government
Department responsible for Alex's care and welfare or the
Family Court of Australia should be responsibile for the
authorisation of medical treatment involving the administration
of hormonal therapies to assist Alex to have a body with
secondary sexual characteristics most appropriate to his
innate affirmed male sex and, in so doing, relieve him of the
extreme suffering he was experiencing as a result of female
pubertal development.
13. The judge decided:
The medical treatment sought by Alex was "Special
Medical Treatment" as per the High Court of Australia's
decision in Marion's Case and therefore only the Family
Court of Australia, and not parents or legal guardians,
has the legal authority to authorise such treatment.
Neither Alex nor any adolescent with transsexualism was
capable of authorising such medical treatment on their
own behalf.
Alex's treating doctors were ultimately authorised by the
court to commence a form of hormonal treatment –
although this was not administered until after Alex began
puberty; Alex later applied to the Family Court fir a double
masectomy
Alex was permitted to be enrolled in school under a male
name
14. DOCS let little girl Ebony starve -
Ombudsman
“Ebony”, a seven-year-old girl, starved to death on a
urine-soaked mattress. Her body weighed just 9kg when
she was discovered at her home in November 2007.
There were 17 separate reports lodged with DoCS,
stretching back to 1993, indicating that Ebony and her
siblings were at risk from their dysfunctional parents.
Of those 17 reports made to DoCS by concerned
neighbours, teachers, doctors and other agencies, 13
occurred between 2005 and 2007.
DoCS relied on a report by a work-experience student to
assess Ebony’s situation; filed other reports as
“information only”
Ebony's mother was sentenced to life in prison for
murder (later reduced to 30 years) and Ebony's father to
16 years behind bars for her manslaughter

15. Judge allows blood transfusion for Jehovah’s
Witness boy, against parents’ wishes
The boy, J, is likely to require a liver transplant within
the next 2 to 3years and Justice Douglas said
without it “death would be inevitable’’.
Justice Douglas said the parents were concerned
about their son’s health and were willing to agree to
a liver transplant, but opposed the application for an
order allowing blood transfusion.
“It seems to me appropriate to conclude that the
sanctity of J’s life, in the end, is a more powerful
reason for me to make the orders than is respect for
the dignity of beliefs so sincerely held by his parents
and him,’’ Justice Douglas said.
