It’s not about the kids. It’s never about the kids.

Exactly. Making it about the kids makes it difficult for people to protest or object. I had an awkward time on our very technical team call yesterday when I ranted a bit about the bill passed. Senior engineers wanted me to 'move along' because somehow they believe that it is better for their own kids.
Unless you're Prince Andrew
I think this could serve a good rule-of-thumb test. Whatever measure is being taken, would it stop (or have stopped) Prince Andrew (and similar)? If not, the measure is at best ineffective and at worst not intended to stop them. We can call this the Prince Andrew Test..

This current law fails the Prince Andrew Test.
