#ChildMarriage #UnchainedAtLast Historically, child marriage has existed for millenia. Between 2000 and 2018, there were 300,000 child marriages…IN THE USA! In 1937 in Sneedville, Tennessee, Charlie Johns, 22, married 9-year-old Eunice Winstead. They remained married until his death in 1997. Ugh. I don’t understand Republicans’ draconian laws against child internet freedom, while pushing for underage marriage and labor. But logically? Ummm, yeah…right. https://www.pressreader.com/australia/the-guardian-australia/20240710/281990382738739
