    All you can do is give them a better life than the one that came before them. It sure beats sending children to work in the mines, or 50% of them dying as infants, etc. One day we'll get there :)

      Or even worse, what they did in the middle ages, sell them into slavery if you couldn't afford another mouth to feed. Yes, we definitely are treating children better than any people I can think of in recorded history.
