1. “Parents and child support groups have been calling for the establishment of such a system. *But some experts have been critical, arguing that it infringes privacy rights and freedom to choose one’s occupation*, both of which are protected under the Constitution.”

   EDIT: If it’s not obvious, I’m disgusted. Children should have a right to safety no matter what and that should come before anyone’s right to “privacy” or choosing their occupation. This is basically to say that children’s rights are beneath the rights of a sick and violent adult who should absolutely know better. Hope this changes swiftly and that proper changes will be enforced.

   Obviously, there are a lot of perverts.

5. Holy cow.
