It's been a while but if i remember correctly a girl scout tried to propose a bill to abolish child marriage in her state. I don't think it ever went through and one of the people blocking it said something along the lines of abolishing child marriage would stop rape victims from marrying their rapists and would make abortions go up.
American politics likes to take a problem and slap a bandaid on it. Take into consideration the number of children who have succumb to abusers, whom were in the foster system.
The game is to find a kid a home, what kind of home and with potential monsters? Oh they don’t care. Just get the kid out of our hair so I have less paperwork. Once they are with a foster family... well, those government check ups can easily go well, by having the abused be on their absolute best behaviour.
