Our culture is sick,making laws would just reinforce what is sick.
I think the problem is the way some people see other people as means to an end to get what they want.It's a problem with people as kids being taught to not respecting others sacred person hood as equals.

It is a generational sickness we all suffer from here.Laws can't fix this problem.Laws are part of the problem of society as in they sometimes foster obedience without question. We need to QUESTION ourselves,and get deep question authority,power,and restructure society itself in a more human way instead of a property way..That sickness is self perpetuating as in we do it like others did and we don't question why.

So until people who are making the next generation have the courage to introspect and find out WHY they need to buck the system,get some real honesty inside,learn to put some boundaries around relationships,find out what they want in life, who they are,,than they can question the validity of power and the social institutions that take advantage, of kids.. When humanity learns to respect and care about others as their equals,even those that are different,vulnerable disabled,sick or whatever, and than maybe they can learn to respect the sacred person hood of a child like they respect their own person hood.

These changes must come from within individuals who are looking at themselves,being honest about their own flaws and fears, asking themselves why do they believe certain things, why do they feel things and do as they do in response to it.Who is the person inside them..Until you ask questions in yourself.. choosing a different way than the one society says is the right way to be will only be partly seen.

Than maybe over time as the picture comes out and the nightmare recedes in more numbers of people,and the acceptance of unique person hood and respect and equality grows the culture itself may change .When the old way of childrearing dies away and as parents learn what their own person hood is, and what it means to them,to be a person,than kids may be treated as human beings again..
