This maybe applies to adults. It does not to children that cannot yet fend for themselves. You are basically throwing them to the wolves. This can be your choice, but it won't be mine.
We are not throwing them to the wolves. Our complacency created this problem and now kids are being affected by our actions and inactions. IMHO the best we can do as parents is try to protect them in a world gone mad. Appealing to governments and corporations that created this problem in the first place (with our acquiescence) is going to make the problem worse because we have evil people behind the scenes using this information against our wishes.
