https://www.statista.com/statistics/639375/number-of-child-abuse-cases-in-the-us/That's a departure from the previous claim. I'd like to be optimistic, but I'd have to take your word for it. The issue has been increasing in intensity regarding attention, but I haven't seen evidence that it's "going down over all", or the installation of a particular mechanism that would lead me to believe so.
Educating kids directly prevents child abuse as they can seek help before they have been abused. This works by allowing them to identify when adults try to groom them or by simply recognizing potential danger ahead of time. And considering often the perpetrators are close relatives having it being taught standardized in school means they also have a way to identify and report abuse at home.Educating kids doesn't address the issue of correcting the behaviors of predators and exploiters--> unless you are going for a longterm solution where you can dissuade children from growing up to become abusers.
Child actors in Hollywood aren't inherently being abused, after a certain age kids can cry on command likely literally any other actor, and considering "child" is anyone under 18 that very much includes teenagers. With things like the recent strikes and the #metoo movements there's also greater awareness and ability to speak up and ensure kids are treated well on set. It hasn't been the 80's in a while where kids were exposed to asbestos on sets.I already pointed out the demoralizing trend of Hollywood and American media exploiting children for entertainment. If you think that's a non-issue, please say so. Maybe you are right and that kind of abuse was always legal.
Are you actually, for real, unaware that teenagers have sex with each other and can get pregnant from that? There is an entire litany of Romeo and Juliet laws on the books specifically to deal with horny teenagers getting down with each other.This insinuation of consensual child-pregnancies is pretty loud there.
You might want to look into a mirror why your mind immediately went to statutory rape not being a thing.
It is absolutely fascinating how you're still riding the train that both parties are equally bad and that both parties somehow share the same level of responsibility for the current state of the US. Again, maybe actually read up on who proposes what laws and what party votes for them or against them.Yes. It's a two party system. The results are perpetually getting worse. Neither party is able to be effective. That's kind of my point. Are you proposing that the "final" solution is to make it a one party system of democrats? I think it is more likely that people will elect a fourth Reich than to re-elect the third one. I'd like to see decentralized (and more importantly, verifiable) consensus seeking measures, myself. Pitting child rapists against child groomers, and asking voters to choose between the two is post-Trump insanity. Electing Trump was already proof of insanity, but you want to keep pushing it. How long before you are teaching children about the virtues of being a furry?
Democrats repeatedly and constantly try to slowly improve things for everyone in the US while the Republicans sabotage things.
Again, abortion is a great example, holding the budget hostage is another, Democrats wanting to end healthcare care insurance scam plus student debt crisis, and so many more.
No, I'm not for a "final solution" like you people seem to be, I just would certainly like that the NSDAP-lite is replaced with a party that actually cares about more than just gaining power and creating a theocratic dictatorship on the back of the strongest military on the planet.
