I completely agree with you, but the parent's comment is saying that the very people who need to be protected are the very ones who don't want government involvement. > Especially in a country like US where people don't like to be limited/controlled (read protected) by laws. Not sure what a good solution is, but it's difficult to help those who don't want to be helped.
