What's their plan to prevent a child from being picked up by another child? I understand that they have a plan now in the instance that a child is picked up, but I'd be interested in what they're doing to prevent it from occurring in the first place.
I realize you can't prevent everything but IMO it needs to be a dual plan. How to prevent it from happening AND what to do if it does happen.
I had a situation where a child on the spectrum began masturbating here (fully clothed but still) and, after I dealt with the immediate issue, I came up with a plan to prevent future occurrences as well as what to do if the child did begin masturbating again.
Prevention is key.
