Huge change coming for Aussie childcare centres
Mobile phone bans and a rollout of CCTV in childcare centres will head the agenda when state and federal education ministers convene on Friday to discuss sector reforms. Mandatory child safety training and a national register of carers will be on the agenda at a crucial meeting of Australia's education ministers. The federal government is set to table $189million worth of funding over four years to tackle problems in the under-fire sector, describing it as the biggest child safety package the early learning sector has ever seen. Backing up recent tweaks to Working With Children Checks, which made bans nationally applicable, federal minister Jason Clare wants a register that will let regulators see who's working in childcare centres and where. Asked if this would address issues with people failing a Working With Children Check in one state and going to another state to get a job, Mr Clare said work was being done on that issue. 'If we get approval today, work will start immediately,' he told Seven's Sunrise program on Friday. 'We've got to build that (the register) from scratch - we will have to pass laws to make it mandatory for centres to put the information in.' Mr Clare said, if approved, trials would be conducted by December, with a view to rolling out a register from February next year. Along with mandatory training, Friday's meeting is set to tackle a national CCTV assessment, more centre spot checks, a mobile phone ban, and harsher penalties for breaches of standards. It will also consider how parents can be given more information about the condition of childcare centres. Mr Clare said no parent should have to wonder if their kids are safe in childcare. 'We need a national register to ensure we know who is caring for our children, and their work history,' he said. 'We also need mandatory child safety training ... the overwhelming majority of childcare workers are awesome at what they do, caring for and educating our children, they are just as angry as everyone else.' The meeting comes about a month after Melbourne childcare worker Joshua Dale Brown was charged with dozens of sex offences, including allegedly sexually abusing eight children. Brown is known to have worked at 24 facilities between 2017 and the time of his arrest. The government has initiated compliance action against 30 early childhood centres under laws passed by federal parliament in July. Under the changes, funding will be stripped from centres not meeting safety standards. The Working With Children Check changes will mean anyone prevented from holding a check in one state or territory will be automatically banned across the nation. But a national check is not on the cards, with jurisdictions to continue managing their systems. Early Childhood Education Minister Jess Walsh said state and federal governments would act 'shoulder-to-shoulder' to make the sector safer. 'Our investment of up to $189million is the biggest child safety package the early learning sector has ever seen,' she said. Federal opposition education spokesman Jonno Duniam called for state and federal ministers to commit to measures 'that will truly shift the dial in improving child safety'. 'The Albanese government must take up a leadership role in pushing the states and territories to implement reforms, and there must be no delay in their uptake,' he said. 'Bureaucratic hurdles are no excuse for parents who expect safer childcare centres immediately, not by the end of the year or after.'

Father's horror as he finds shirtless man lying on top of his seven-year-old daughter in her bed
A father's worst nightmare came true when he found a man who was renting a room in his home lying on top of his seven-year-old daughter with his pants around his ankles. Daniel D'Angelo, 53 - a registered sex offender who did not disclose his status to the homeowner - was arrested and charged on August 17 with lewd conduct and failure to register as a sexual offender, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office. An arrest report obtained by WFTX said the father of the alleged victim found D'Angelo shirtless with his jeans around his ankles, lying on top of the girl in her bedroom. The girl's father confronted D'Angelo, and an altercation between the two broke out. The father took photos of the horrifying scene to show the police as evidence. The photos allegedly depicted D'Angelo pulling up his jeans and leaving the girl's room. The girl told cops that she was sleeping in her bed and woke up to D'Angelo on top of her without his shirt. She said that he was touching her leg and put his finger in her ear before her father intervened. Investigators found D'Angelo's shirt in the girl's bed, but he denied that the photos were of him and claimed he was set up. D'Angelo did admit to being a registered sex offender and an alcoholic, confessing that he had been drinking that day. The suspect was renting a room from the girl's family and had moved into the home just a few weeks before the horrifying ordeal. Before moving into the home, which is located in Port Charlotte, Florida, about an hour north of Fort Myers, D'Angelo was living with a woman named Robin Hart. Hart told local CW affiliate, WINK News, that she was afraid of D'Angelo when they were roommates. 'I was afraid of him because he [kept] banging on my door and banging on my door all the time, and I kept saying, Go away, go away. Go away. Leave me alone,' she told the outlet. D'Angelo's former landlord, Kevin, told WINK that he would get so drunk that 'he didn't know what he was doing.' 'He could barely walk. He just did things that normal people actually never do,' the landlord added. D'Angelo is in jail on a second-degree felony charge of lewd conduct and a third-degree felony charge of failing to register as a sex offender. D'Angelo's former roommate, Robin (right) told local news that she was afraid of him, and his former landlord, Kevin (left) said he drank a lot When sex offenders move in Florida, they have 48 hours to register their new address. The girl's father and the owner of the home told police that D'Angelo didn't notify them that he was a sex offender. D'Angelo was given a $150,000 bond for lewd conduct and a $100,000 bond for failing to register as a sex offender. Daily Mail reached out to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office for comment and additional information on the case.

USPS worker's sneaky pepper spray revenge against dog caught on camera
A USPS worker sparked an investigation after appearing to use pepper spray on a California resident's mail which was then given to their adorable dog. The Torrance mail worker was seen on security footage seemingly spraying the mail with pepper spray and feeding it to the Guszak's family's French Bulldog, Jax. 'The dog is in the house and the windows are closed,' Danna Guszak told Fox 11. 'There's no threat at all to this man at all.' Footage obtained by the outlet showed the mail worker outside the home last week scanning his surroundings before reaching for one of the spray canisters. The worker sprayed the mail multiple times before walking up to the home, prompting the dog to start barking, and slid the tainted mail through the door and walked away. 'He says, "Okay, enjoy," [to the dog],' Danna said. 'I don't even understand that. He clearly knows the dog is going to get that mail.' Danna's husband, Raymond, was home at the time of the incident and noticed Jax had began to drool strangely. Raymond picked up the mail to find it coated in a slimy orange substance, which smelt like pepper spray, before his eyes began to water. The couple told the outlet they had 'never' had any issues with any mail carrier. They explained that thankfully Jax was okay, but worried about their neighboring residents who may have worse luck. 'What if a child picked up that mail and ingested it? Or was he trying to harm the people inside the home? I'm not sure what the intent was,' Raymond told the outlet. The pair reported the incident to USPS and to the police, evidencing their orange stained mail. A spokesperson for USPS told Fox 11: 'The United States Postal Service holds its employees to high standards of conduct, and any actions which conflict with these values are taken seriously.' 'We are currently reviewing this incident and will take appropriate action based on the results to ensure alignment with our commitment to integrity and professionalism,' they added. But Danna said, despite a new mail worker delivering to their home in the last few days, that she now lives in fear. 'In my eyes, they're not taking into account that I now have to live with the fact that I'm scared,' she said. Raymond pointed out to the outlet that he believed tampering with mail to be a federal crime, especially 'if you have some liquid or poison on the mail.' It remains unclear if any action has been taken or how USPS will respond to the incident, but the Guszak's have said they no longer feel they can trust their mail delivery workers. 'We're not comfortable anymore. I want to be able to trust the postal carriers,' Raymond said. According to the USPS website, employees are to use the pepper spray or 'dog repellent' on 'any dog that attacks.' USPS policy also stated that if a dog is a 'menace,' the worker should report the issue with a supervisor who would inform the customer that mail delivery would cease until the dog was confined. 'Do not use the repellent indiscriminately, especially when there is a danger of spraying children or adults. Indiscriminate use of the repellent will not be tolerated and could result in corrective action, up to and including removal,' the USPS website stated.
