AI justification

Systemic failure to protect children from sexual offenders in a critical sector outweighs the positive intent. | The government's attempt to protect children through mandatory vetting is ethically sound but critically undermined by systemic implementation failures. The delay in vetting over 119,000 teachers creates a direct and severe risk to children's safety, violating their rights to protection and education. The positive intent is overshadowed by the magnitude of the failure.
