For a country founded on the ideas of individual freedom, the US seems to have an incredible blind spot when it comes ot the rights of children. In any country with any sort of child protection laws worth their name, these would be illegal, as would most forms of physical punishment and emotional neglect that seem to be permitted in the US.

- dang 5y agoIf you make shallow, pejorative generalizations about a country—any country—then you are adding nationalistic flamebait to the thread in the sense that we use the term here. Let's not argue about definitions; please just don't post such comments.
