True. Such records as do exist of the lives of tribes, societies and cultures before European contact prove that their moral structures were set powerfully to protect their children. And not necessarily their innocence. Life was harsh. But to protect their children from exploitation or abuse. It was unheard of. I'm not saying this was a universal thing, but it was common enough to be considered an optimal norm.
