The law should prioritize mental health support for victims of abuse within schools. Protecting children isn’t just about preventing abuse; it’s also about ensuring they have access to the counseling services they might need following traumatic experiences.

While the intention behind the new law is commendable, it risks creating an environment of distrust between teachers and students. We must ensure that measures to protect children do not inadvertently criminalize educators, who often play a vital role in children's lives.
