"Missouri still allows 16-year-olds to be married, and allows corporal punishment in public and private schools. A recent report by an international human rights group ranked Missouri in the bottom third of all states for child rights, in part because Missouri still allows child marriage and corporal punishment in schools."

Had no idea U.S.A. had not ratified The Convention on the Rights of the Child!
I have a U.N. booklet from over 50 years ago about the the Rights of the Child covering the main points. Apparently until 1989 it was not an actually adopted as a Convention.
Here is the OHCHR document saying it was not adopted until 1989.

This second link is a UNICEF interpretation, of the document, less legalese, colorful and eye-catching.
