The inability of a child to thrive in a Constitutionally protected God based perpetual threat and rape culture is not a fault of the child; however it does become their odious responsibility upon reaching adulthood to resolve the harms done to them. The Christian religion at its core is a toxic mechanism whereby intergenerational trauma is kept alive, active, and deeply embedded in each new generation, as it has done over the past 2,000+ years.
A variety of political, cultural, and historical factors, as reflected in both broader societal sentiments and specific concerns raised on Social Media.

The Albanese government has recently highlighted its commitment to shielding children from the adverse effects of social media. This focus is undoubtedly commendable, as digital platforms can indeed expose young minds to harmful content and risky interactions. However, as we consider the broader landscape of child protection, it's crucial to address an area often overlooked yet deeply ingrained in many societies: the influence of trauma-bonding religious institutions, particularly those associated with Christianity.
Trauma bonding within religious contexts occurs when children are subjected to or witness harmful practices and ideologies under the guise of spiritual guidance and community belonging. These bonds, formed through cycles of abuse and indoctrination, can lead to long-lasting psychological scars—similar to, or perhaps even more damaging than, the risks posed by social media.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, like many individuals, was raised within the Catholic Church, an institution now widely criticized for its handling of global wide abuse of millions of children and their two faced weasel wording when it comes to redress and compensation.
The recognition of this issue is not about targeting a single religion but rather confronting a systemic problem across various religious settings that claim to protect while simultaneously harming the most vulnerable.
The need for scrutiny arises from numerous documented cases where religious institutions have not only failed to protect children but have actively covered up abuse to preserve their image. This systemic betrayal contrasts sharply with the very essence of what these institutions profess. Therefore, while the government’s efforts to regulate social media are necessary, similar or greater attention must be directed towards these religious organizations, which wield profound influence over millions of children worldwide.
1. Implement Mandatory Reporting Laws: Just as schools, youth sports, and healthcare providers are mandated reporters of suspected child abuse, religious institutions must also be held to this standard without exemptions.
2. Increase awareness: Increase awareness about the signs of abuse and the negative impacts of trauma bonding in religious settings. Communities should be empowered with the knowledge and tools to protect their children from these hidden dangers.
3. Provide robust support: Provide systems for survivors of religious trauma, including counseling, legal assistance, and platforms to share their stories without fear of retribution.
4. Enforce Transparency, Responsibility and Accountability: Religious institutions must be subject to external audits and investigations regarding their handling of child abuse cases. Transparency in these processes is crucial to restoring trust and ensuring justice.
Protecting children from the harms of social media is just one piece of the child protection puzzle.
If governments are to truly safeguard our children’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being, they must broaden their scope to include the places where they are supposed to feel safest, including religious institutions.
It is not enough to change policies; we must change paradigms, challenge deeply held beliefs, and ensure that all environments where children spend their time are truly safe and nurturing.
As society progresses, it is our collective responsibility to ensure that no stone is left unturned in the quest to protect our children from all forms of abuse. Let us be as vigilant and proactive in our approach to religious institutions as we are with technology, for the sake of all our children's futures.
A proposed structured approach to addressing these concerns, particularly focusing on legislative and social measures:
Organizations and ideologies, whether religious or secular, can use social media as a powerful tool for outreach and influence. The digital age has made it easier for such groups to target and engage with young people, often those who are most vulnerable or due to failure in their support networks are left to seek belonging in dangerous cultural groups. This can result in indoctrination and likely to expose young individuals to harmful practices or dangerous beliefs.
Mandatory Reporting: Including religious organizations under legislatively enforceable child protection laws, such as mandatory reporting, is a significant step that needs to be urgently undertaken if our leaders are to be seen as having the best interests of children at the forefront of any initiative. Mandatory reporting laws require certain professionals and organizations to report instances of child abuse and neglect. Expanding these laws to encompass all organizations and individuals within them that work with or influence children, including religious groups, ensures a uniform standard of child protection.
Child Wellbeing as a Universal Right of the Child and a Universal Responsibility of Governance: Embracing the concept of child wellbeing as "everyone’s responsibility" underlines the need for a holistic approach to child safety. This includes religions, schools, social clubs, online platforms, and any entity interacting with children. Making child wellbeing a societal priority will lead to more proactive measures and greater awareness at all levels.
State Government Role: In Australia, child protection legislation is also framed at the state level, making state governments crucial in this reform. Advocacy efforts could focus on demanding that state legislators need to amend existing laws or introduce new regulations that reflect these broader concerns.
Federal Oversight: While state governments play a key role, federal oversight and national standards could ensure consistency and avoid gaps that might occur due to varying state laws. A national dialogue on child protection can help elevate the issue to a priority on the federal agenda.
Expanding the Scope: The influence of non-religious ideologies, whether political, cultural, or social, can also have profound effects on young people. Legislation and protective measures should consider all types of ideological influences, ensuring that laws are comprehensive and not overly focused on a single type of organization or belief system.
The Elephant in the Room: The influence of corporations, and business at every level must not be avoided as it is they who target and market to children who in turn influence the actions of adults who support and provide for them. Legislation must be framed from begining to end with the Rights of Children and the need to protect them from all forms of exploitation and that includes advertising and marketing. Children should not be left open to the Mantra of "Let the buyer be aware" before they have reached the age of reason.
Educational Initiatives: Education plays a pivotal role in equipping young people with the skills to critically evaluate the information they receive. Educational programs that foster evidence bassed critical thinking, media and marketing literacy, and digital literacy can empower young people to make informed decisions and help to recognize and to report fraud, deception or manipulative tactics.
Training and Resources: Implementing these changes requires training for those involved in children’s services, law enforcement, and any entity that interacts with youth. Adequate resources and continuous education on the latest trends and technologies are essential for effective monitoring and protection.
Community Engagement: Engaging community leaders, parents, educators, and young people themselves in the dialogue about child protection helps ensure that measures are practical and culturally sensitive. Community input can also aid in identifying emerging threats and crafting responsive strategies.
Addressing the influence of various ideologies and organizations on young people is a multifaceted challenge that requires legislative action, educational reform, and community involvement. By broadening the scope of child protection laws and embracing a holistic approach to child wellbeing, societies can better safeguard young individuals from potential indoctrination, exploitation and financial and other damaging harms.
2023 Findings in Spain found that 0.6% of the population of Spain had been sexually abused by Roman Catholic priests and laity. Up to 50 million alive on any day who have been raped or abused by Catholic clergy &/or Catholic laity
Current world population is 8 billion - 0.6% = 48 million alive today who are likely to have been raped by Catholics globally.
The church protected the perpetrators, not the victims
"This is a matter for the church and I respect the internal judgements of the church. I don't stand outside the church and provide them with public lectures in terms of how they should behave. I've noted carefully what his Holiness has said in the United States. Obviously that was a source of great comfort and healing in the United States. I'm like all Australians very much looking forward to what the Pope has to say here in Australia as well, as I am to my own conversation with the Pope later this morning." Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia, 17 July 2008. more
