Most houses are sold with outlets that can be extremely dangerous for kids. Do we need more regulation for this too?

Yes.

Are RCDs not required in your area?

We, in fact, have added more regulation in that area. Outlets installed below 5.5 feet are required by code to be tamper-resistant so that they aren't dangerous to children.
