But... along comes the US govt creating more bullshit rules and paperwork which do not make any provision for child protection. There are numerous laws existing already where "offenders" can be indicted for the ususal violations - it's just that the US govt needs as many "rules" as it can muster to feel relevant.

Truth is, they have been pathetically poor at child protection - especially where US citizens commit offenses in other nations. They need to clean up their own backyard first.

Foreign corporations? Hell.. dream on in lala land
