Children in strip-search controversy
`Children as young as 10 could be strip-searched in public by police of the opposite sex without their parents’ knowledge under Victoria’s proposed new anti-terrorism laws.
Draft rules state that strip-searches of children aged 10 to 18 — and of the intellectually impaired — must be conducted by a person of the same sex, in private and in the presence of a parent or guardian, “unless it is not reasonably practicable”.’
