    “BPS supports parents’ rights to be the primary decision-makers in their children’s lives” Gross, I wouldn’t have followed this shit as a kid. No wonder suicide is so common in children, they have no freedom.

      Sadly the US never ratified the UN’s convention on the right’s of the child which is why the US has some of the worst abuse and control of children to this day. Really says something about the US mindset, huh?

      Not that other places necessarily fair much better as not seeing children as people is kind of built into the system, but at least there are technically laws in some places against some of the worst stuff that can be done to children.

      Perhaps there should be a new approach though: [email protected]
