Child baptisms without parental consent

In September 2022, NTA baptized approximately 100 schoolchildren without informing, or seeking consent from, their parents. Some parents only learned their children had been baptized that day when their children requested to be brought dry clothes. Many parents that practice adult baptism were upset because they were not present for an important religious ceremony for their children; others were upset as their children were already baptized, and felt that a second baptism effectively undid the first baptism. The school's principal said, "In hindsight, we would do it differently."
