Il ne s'est jamais agit de protéger les enfants, mais plutôt d'empêcher la #déviance d'un #idéal de l'enfant qui peut se résumer à celui qu'on voit, mais qu'on entend pas. En gros, l'enfant est enjoint, de force et parfois violemment, à se fondre dans un moule social qui leur accorde un rôle assez restreint, celui de bons petits soldats obéissants à l'autorité des adultes pour le préparer à obéir, plus tard, à l'autorité masculine, patronale, politique et policière.
