That's how the government eliminates the basic rights. Step by step. Starting with small things. Almost always with "defend children" slogans. Do you want to look into the future? Analyze Russia's today: they started "defending" kids ~10 years ago. Look where they are now. You will be there soon too.
That's both the funniest and stupidest thing I've read all week, thanks for the sad laugh.
Loosely speaking, Russia has been "where they are now" since the failure of Perestroika and the collapse of the Soviet Union some 30+ years ago. None of that was done under the guise of "defending kids", so quit your delusional ranting.
