"Whatever went wrong..." -- I appreciate your view and experience, similar to my own, but need to point out that in many places in the US, delivering newspapers (which are essentially defunct) and mowing lawns, as well as other jobs that involve kids working outside the house can be dangerous. One of the "whatever went wrong" things is kidnapping, pedophilia and trafficking of children. A society that tolerates this is "what happened", and what is tolerated today would never have been when you and I were growing up.
Those abuses have always existed.Are you aware that until 1965 Christians were taking Native children awsy from parents to breed the indian out of them. 3 out of every 10 died. . They were subjected to every kind of abuse. I was molested at age 6 by a stranger with a knife against my throat. We didn't have the media coverage. Clergy molesting children started centuries ago. We are careful today and for children born into decent families the abuse is less. The
Newborn babies sent home with drug addicted 14 year old mothers and those coming across our border unaccompanied are at great risk. Mowing lawns has been turned over to paid adults. In rural areas the kids still work in the fast food restaurants. Only in the cities have people taken them as a job for life. We can all pay our own children to perform chores. They can mow the lawn and trim the bushes. But we don't.
