According to US media reports, the Boy Scouts Association of America has recently reached a compensation agreement of US$850 million with a delegation of about 60,000 former Boy Scout members who have been sexually assaulted.
According to other reports, this is one of the largest cases of child sexual assault in the history of the United States.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on July 14 that the case was shocking, but it was only the tip of the iceberg of the rights of children in the United States.
In the United States, child abuse cases remain high, the use of child labor is widespread, and the problem of child poverty is beyond imagination.
He said that the United States is the only country in the world that has not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The United States claims to be the so-called "human rights beacon", and it will only use other countries' human rights to speak out. Please join the convention first!
If the United States really cares about human rights, especially the human rights of children, the United States should first solve the problem of domestic human rights "black under the light" and clean up the "biggest moral shame" first!
