    You mean in the country that has elected a known pedophile who is now covering his own crimes? You mean in the country currently petitioning to bring back child labor? The country hearing arguments for lowering the age of consent? The country that is militantly opposed to family planning but even more militantly against social safety nets and welfare for children and families? The same country that has allowed the wholesale slaughter of children in cities and schools and responded by making guns even more deadly and easier to get? You mean the country where people who try to help children being starved to death in Gaza end up jailed or deported or have their lives threatened? The country that has done everything possible to strip things like school lunches, after-school programs or any basic community efforts to contribute to children growing up competent and healthy?

    I won’t hold my breath that the “unsettled online freaks” are going to amount to much.
