One element I like about the US system is that, while sometimes a bit too aggressive in their protection efforts, they do a decent job of stopping the criminals. In Japan it's almost as though the government doesn't care one whit for the rights of a child to NOT get beaten, once or regularly. But, then, I hardly find it surprising. While I'm not blaming the media, I think a lot of people in the world have a very skewed sense of right and wrong, a lot of which comes from being raised by television and video games and not parents (who might also have been raised in such a way).
