Neither of us have signed Article 37 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Wow, what a load of crap this is. Did you know, for instance, that Professur is breaking the law? He is. So is Bish & Leslie & all the other non-American, non-Somali OTCers with children. What brings this up? The same ruling that seemed innocuous at first...the Under 18 can't be killed ruling.
How are they breaking the law? Let's take a look at what your governments agreed to.
