We are raising a generation of children in trouble who will face great mental health issues and future problems due to angry, cold and “over-protective’’ parents.

A landmark study from the University of South Australia has found that one in five Australian kids are at a high risk of mental illness when they grow up.

The study found that angry parents, bullying and “low parent warmth’’ are the main triggers for children’s mental health problems.

One in seven children aged four to 13 will exhibit a “diagnosable mental disorder’’, including depression or hyperactivity in a 12-month period. The study found that half of our babies and toddlers show risk factors for mental illness as adults.

The study published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry writes “risk from negative parenting behaviours is highly prevalent in Australian families.”

“Even by infancy, risk factors for adult mental illness are highly prevalent, with 51.7 per cent of ­infants having multiple risks’’ the authors write.

The authors found that over-protective parents are a major risk factor for mental illness because children don’t learn to cope with failure or setbacks as adults.

The study found 23 per cent of primary school children have parents deemed to be over-protective.

Lead researcher Sophie Guy told The Australian that the findings point to a need for help for children before they reach school.

“In this crucial early period, brain circuitry associated with a child’s future social, emotional and cognitive capacities is largely established, providing the foundation for functioning through the life course,’’ the study says.

“Exposure to traumatic events in early childhood, such as child maltreatment, can have lifelong ramifications on social, emotional and cognitive wellbeing.’’

“Hostile or angry parenting’’ is one of the biggest risk factors, affecting a third of children aged between eight and 13.

2.  Teenager in Anzac Day plot was participating in a government-funded deradicalisation program at the time of his arrest.

A Sydney teenager, charged over an Anzac Day terror plot will today appear in court where he will apply for bail.

The 16-year-old was arrested by NSW Joint Counter-Terrorism Team officers on Sunday after police allegedly intercepted the teen trying to source a gun on the internet.

“At this stage we believe it was one person by himself” NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione told a media conference shortly after the dawn service ceremony yesterday in Sydney.

“The risk from this particular threat has been thwarted.”

He was charged with one count of doing an act in preparation of a terrorist act. Yesterday he did not appear via video screen at Parramatta Children’s Court yesterday and his lawyer, Zemarai Khatiz, did not apply for bail.

The offence carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

It has been reported that the teenager was participating in a government-funded deradicalisation program at the time of his arrest.

News Limited reports that the boy, from Auburn allegedly had contact with senior Islamic State terrorist and recruiter Neil Prakash, who tried to encourage the boy to participate in a coordinated terrorist attack in May last year.

Police then enrolled him in a deradicalisation program

His father told The Australian last year “I almost fainted,’’ he said when he was told of his son’s activities.

“It was a shock. It was like: this can’t happen.’’

According to police, the boy referred to the NSW Police intervention program. He was given a gym membership, taken to English-language sermons at a mosque and received regular visits and phone calls from community contact police who checked in on his welfare.

3. Former SBS Journalist re-posted the tweets that got him sacked last year.

The SBS journalist who was sacked last year after a series of tweets he sent last year on Anzac Day has re-posted the same tweets.

Scott McIntyre posted a series of four tweets just after midday on Anzac day detailing alleged war crimes, rapes and murder committed by Australian troops overseas.

“Heroism on command, senseless violence, all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism,” he wrote.

McIntyre, a football reporter was fired last year after refusing to delete the controversial tweets.

4. Jetstar apologises after telling pumping mum to cover up.

Jetstar has apologised to a Queensland mother who was asked by a flight attendant to cover up while expressing breast milk during a flight

Natalie Jane Sawyer was travelling from Brisbane to Townsville when she was asked by a crewmember to cover up as she sat pumping breast milk in a back row.

Ms Sawyer posted on Facebook that the crewmember requested she cover-up as people would soon be visiting the toilets.

"It shouldnt (sic) matter anyway if i was covered because legally i have a right to pump anywhere, anytime i want and if i feel the need to cover up i will do so and not because people have to walk down the aisle to the toilet," she posted.

A Jetstar spokesman said the company attempted to contact Ms Sawyer on Monday afternoon to pass on their apologies.

"We want all mothers to feel welcome and respected when breastfeeding onboard our flights and deeply regret the offence caused by our crew member's remarks," the spokesman told AAP.

"We'll work with our crew and remind them of our breastfeeding policy to prevent this from happening to other mothers."

5. Man attacked by crocodile inside his tent.

A 19-year-old man has been attacked by a crocodile who tried to enter his tent in the Douglas Daly region of the Top End, the Northern Territory Health Department says.

Peter Rowsell told the ABC he was camping about 15 metres from Dorisvale crossing, southwest of Darwin, when he woke to something "shaking" at his right foot early on Anzac Day.

"I was down at Dorisvale, and at about 4:30 this morning, I was sleeping in a mozzie net, and ... I woke up and there was something shaking my foot, and I woke up and had a look and it was three to four metres long," Mr Rowsell said.

Crocodile specialist and Charles Darwin University's Senior Research Associate Adam Britton said that the man was camping too close to the water.

"If he's camping 15 metres from the water, that is too close. And the official recommendation with croc-wise is 50 metres minimum," he said.

"People break the 50-metre rule all the time. I mean I've done it myself in the past, but I don't think I'd do it today, that's for sure.

"Crocodiles are inherently curious animals, they really quite like to check things out. Sometimes that means they're hungry and they want to check out what the food is, and sometimes they just want to have a stickybeak. Unfortunately that means you're potentially going to get bitten."

6. Three-day-old baby mauled to death by family dog while in bed with baby and mother.

A three-day-old baby has been mauled to death by a family pet while the dog, the newborn and the mother and father were in bed together watching TV in San Diego in the US.

The parents of the newborn boy told police that the dog attacked when the baby’s mother coughed. The mixed breed American Staffordshire Terrier was startled and turned on the baby.

"Everything is pointing towards nothing more than a tragic case of an accident, or horrific case of an accident," said Sgt. Tu Nguyen with the San Diego Police Dept.

The couple took the baby to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The two-year-old dog, a neutered male named Polo was seized by animal authorities where he will undergo a 10-day quarantine to make sure he is not rabid, after which he will be euthanized unless his owners decide to reclaim him.

7. Campaign to shut down Rate my Teacher website.

Campaign to shut down teacher ranking site. Via IStock.

A former teacher is trying to get a website where students and parents can rank and rate teachers shut down.

The Herald Sun reports that Peter Wood, who taught for 34 years, said he was incensed by vicious and defamatory comments posted anonymously on the site.

“Attacks on school staff by both parents and students had been career-ending for some teachers” he said.

Mr Wood told The Herald Sun that it was worse for young female teachers who became the target for sexist and sexual comments.

“The site disgusts me in that it allows, with total anonymity, parents and students to debase teachers,” Mr Wood said. “About 80 per cent of the comments that come through are nice, but 20 per cent are evil.

“It’s an easy way to hurt someone, and it can ruin someone’s life. It’s a personal crusade for me to shut (it) down.”

Mr Wood said he was having trouble finding out who ran the site.

“I’ll send off emails and get a response with poor English; it’s like the coffee boy is responding,” he said.
