Can you help me broaden this list? I'm looking for examples that are PRESENT DAY, that I can look up & find more info about. At minimum they must be illegal in the USA. It would be better if they were legal in the countries they occur.
1. Legal Islamic stonings. ex. http://www.apostatesofislam.com/media/stoning.htm
2. Known orphaning of children. Example:
http://nhocca.org/uk/index.html
"The Nepalese government offers no help to these children..."
3. Legalized Child Prostitution
Nepal/Costa Rica/... African Countries
"I cannot fathom why Costa Rica would go half way in ... allowing legal child prostitution through a loophole that allows married children to legally sell their bodies on the streets."
4. Child Labor
