    Sadly, child marriage is consistent throughout western and eastern culture, and is coming back to Tennessee, US. Only since 1980-1990 did we care about child sexual assault, and conservatives are more concerned with the license than with whether or not kids are getting hurt.

    Child labor is also returning while kids can’t get consistent school lunch programs or healthcare. It seems we struggle to actually care about kids.l

        Without more specific details, I don’t trust that the safety of kids is assured in other industrialized nations either. I’d hazard a guess that kids in Germany might be more protected now but I don’t have any data. I’m also not sure what definition of civilized you might mean, what with Canada, the UK and Australia showing ongoing struggles with barbarism.
