However, since it has been so long, so many decades since these horrible crimes against children were happening, it has slipped into almost mythological territory because we live in a "Hyper Regulated" country today that has now swung so far to the other side of the problem that we are raising lazy kids with no work ethic that employers are AFRAID to hire because they don't want someone's precious little 14 year old sweet-ums to get bit by a mosquito on the job! I owned an ice cream shop that employed 14 and 15 year old kids and it was like wrangling chickens to get them to do anything productive! They just didn't want to work and my store suffered because I hired them. I hired them because I believe all young teens should work a simple, entry level job to gain job experience and my store fit that bill very well. Pour ice cream, serve ice cream, count customers money. simple. monkey easy work. And they wouldn't do it. But they expected that paycheck like they had earned it.
