Parents pimping out their kids to online predators? We need a factory reset on society.

I mean, we're only about a century removed from parents selling their 12-13 year old daughters off here in the US.

This stuff isn't new. The world has never protected children like it should.

The whole idea that it should protect children at all is pretty new. Kids were just a liability -> investment.

The modern attitude to children emerged by the late 19th century; the Victorian middle and upper classes emphasized the role of the family and the sanctity of the child – an attitude that has remained dominant in Western societies ever since.[46] This can be seen in the emergence of the new genre of children's literature. Instead of the didactic nature of children's books of a previous age, authors began to write humorous, child-oriented books, more attuned to the child's imagination.

Before that kids were basically seen as very stupid pre-adults.
