I didn't detect that sf said legislation ought not to be necessary. In the real world it's the only way to speed up the spread of non-abusive, "helping mode" child-rearing. I have great admiration for Paula Flowe's activism. Political and legislative action is what's needed.
If you type the words Convention on the Rights of the Child into Google you get results on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities mixed-in.... because it also mentions children. If you type the words Lloyd deMause into Google you get results for pages that - just by coincidence - have some other person with the same surname and someone else with the same first name. So you have to put the words within quotes.
Web Results 1 - 10 of about 12,900 for "Lloyd deMause"
Web Results 1 - 10 of about 427,000 for "Alice Miller"
Web Results 1 - 10 of about 2,590,000 for "Convention on the Rights of the Child"
In the case of "Alice Miller" you can't avoid spurious results mixed-in.... because there are other notable people called Alice Miller (see Wikipedia's disambiguation page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Miller).... plus Genealogy websites and university professors called Alice Miller. And quite a few of the Miller & DeMause results are on this forum.
The biggest irony is that Alice Miller and Lloyd deMause never even acknowledged that the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child exists!
