Exposing Western children to an alien culture and inferior way of thinking is a form of child abuse IMO.

It can but need not be the case. In our own process of socialisation, we have grown up in societies that we were born into and were unable to select beforehand. As we grow up in that respective environment, we will be formed according to that environment, and when we grow older, we all develop our own mind in reaction to that environment and eventually leave or work for changes if we have objections to it in one way or another. It is my personal experience - being born into a communist oppressive system, I was socialised by it but later developed traits of severe resistance to what it actually was; I was jailed for that and managed to escape, becoming a refugee in a foreign land. Today, I am a free person and enjoy life. Ergo, the system which I was born into by chance did not make me a communist, and I developed in a very different way. Does this prove my point?

I think it goes a very long way indeed to prove your point. In the same way that you had the desire to escape an evil regime, I expect that that Canadian family do not think that the pornographic, violent West, where you can't even walk down the streets of an English town, like Colchester(a garrison town) without the likelyhood of being beaten to a pulp by our brave lads, as the pubs tip out, is a good safe place for a child. Or you are a 68 year old organist, and you get brutally murdered as you make your way to play at the Midnight Mass on Christmas Day(might have been Eve) No, your child will be a lot safer on the streets of China, than on the streets of England; or for that matter those of Canada, I dare say. Needless to say, violence can occur anywhere, even in a normally peaceful country like China, but in the West, the odds of coming a cropper are considerably more stacked against you. Well said, Turnoi.
