According to Kundra, approximately 1 in 69 children in India are affected by ASD, a complex developmental condition characterized by repetitive and rigid behaviors alongside social communication deficits. Diagnosing ASD involves identifying behavioral patterns using tools like the CARS, ADOS, and ISAA, which help clinicians assess severity and symptom nature. Notably, not all autistic children have intellectual disabilities, with some possessing exceptional abilities or experiencing cognitive delays that can be assessed through psychometric tests.

The incident sparked controversy over the Department for Education's guidelines on transphobia and homophobia in schools. Statistics show that 94 pupils were suspended or excluded for such behavior in the 2022-23 academic year, including ten from Year 1 and three from Year 2. Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, criticized teachers and school leaders for applying adult concepts to young children, calling it "insanity". The Education Secretary has emphasized the importance of creating a safe environment for all pupils and staff, with a comprehensive behavior support program in place.

The testimonies reveal that child-on-child sexual violence is becoming increasingly common among children under the age of 10, raising concerns that it may be too late to address misogynistic attitudes by age 13. Sara argues that banning social media for children under 16, like Australia did last year, is not a practical solution and instead advocates for education programs in schools to help children critically evaluate the pornography and misogynistic narratives they are exposed to.
