Child Law Project: Judge questioned Tusla's restrictions on children's access to phones

The judge questioned during a childcare case whether Tusla applied any restrictions to mobile phones and 'whether it assessed when a phone was appropriate for a child'.

A judge in a childcare case raised concerns about children’s access to mobile phones, saying: “We talk about stranger danger, yet we allow anyone to talk to a child in their bedroom". 

The case was included in more than 100 reports on child care proceedings across the country which were published on Monday by the Child Law Project.
