Childhood, Sacred or Sacrificed?

The presumed sanctuary of innocence, childhood seems to be placed under surveillance: that of the early screening of delinquency and that of juvenile consumerism that colonizes children's imagination. In our societies, childhood is concurrently celebrated and devalued, loved and warped, protected and threatened. A choice must be made between the child-king and the child-prey. To escape this alternative, a conversation to understand our new relationship with childhood.
