When did they stop treating children bad?

The treatment of children has evolved significantly over the centuries, with societal attitudes shifting dramatically during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The establishment of child labor laws, compulsory education, and the rise of child welfare movements marked key milestones in improving children's rights and protections. However, challenges persist globally, and in many areas, children still face neglect and abuse. Continuous advocacy and legislative changes are essential to ensure the ongoing protection and well-being of children everywhere.
