About this listen
Do Aussie youth need a cuddle or to sit in the corner and have a hard think about what they've done?
Young people are in all the headlines in Australia at the moment.
On one hand, the social media ban has started locking under 16's out from a range of platforms. On the other, the states are changing their laws to provide "adult time" for offenders who are under 16, in some cases for kids as low as 10.
So how can we be saying youth are vulnerable and need protecting from social media while also locking up 12 year olds in criminal institutions?
Kia and Alex take a look at these two topics together in this little ep.
Some of Alex's recent pieces on youth crime in Australia.
