    This was the case that really changed the way kids were treated in the US.

    Before this, it was normal for kids to travel great distances on their own.

      Laws are waayy to often based on single cases of something. Same with the whole “dont microwave your cat” stuff. So many have to suffer because some idiots or a random case of crazy or bad luck.

      That’s funny.

      1 kid goes missing, all of America changes how they act.

      100s of kids die in school shootings, America does nothing.
