No. It's the result of society becoming totally child-centric.
- No one is allowed to say "no" to children without whispers of neglect or emotional abuse.
- No one is allowed to discipline children without being arrested for assault.
- Everyone is supposed to spend every waking moment feeding every child's ego and self-confidence until they are totally convinced beyond belief that, yes, the entire world DOES revolve around them and they don't have to work or save for anything but instead they're entitled to anything and everything just by simply asking for it.
So because kids cannot be raised as kids anymore, but must always be treated as miniature adults, we have to create new restrictions for
everyone, adults and children, in order to solve problems with child-rearing.
