Child abuse in Australia is at crisis levels, with the effects on the children and the adults they'll grow up to be horrific and lifelong. But 35% percent of Australians don't view child abuse as a big issue, with parents more likely to say it's not a big deal. Perhaps that's why police patrol public transport to catch fare evaders and strip search children - and meanwhile child protection services are underfunded, understaffed and overworked.
