Besides the original subject country being France, many EU laws now are continent-wide. But, if you'll note the sarcasm* throughout the response, it would disturb you less.
We all know that those children are actually used as feed at the escargot hatcheries.

To the OP's point, though, the idea that mistakes can be legislated out of existence is naive at best, and oppressive at worst.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

They lost 6.25% of the very young children in their care, and didn't notice until hours later when the parents came to pick up their missing toddler.
If you're paid to look after children, and you fail to notice when 1/16th of them go missing, then you're clearly not fit to do your job.
It's not about a magic bullet to stop mistakes from being made. It's about making sure that you don't leave your children in the care of people who are dangerously unfit to look after them.

Damn! I'd almost forgotten about 'no child left behind'. Thanks for reminding me. Funny, neither candidate (here in US) has even mentioned this failing program.

Once, just once, I'd love to hear a news report about a missing child and then have the reporter go into some rant about it amounting to a rounding error.

Could be. Isn't that "the close-enough math"?

Two rules in politics. It's for the children and never let a good crisis go to waste. The corollary is that anything negative happening to children is a crisis.

Hello all,
I am attempting to record video using a game capture device (razer ripsaw) the console mainly in question is my PS3 the software I'm using to record the footage is something called OBS studio (seems to be the favorite with people who use this specific capture card).
The problem I'm having is that everything seems to work but I get a preview of my TV screen on my capture preview but then it goes black and it repeats that over and over again.
Most places say its a HDCP issue. Does anyone know of any way to fix this or some way to work around it? Iv heard using a HDMI splitter takes care of that but, but also iv heard it could be a issue with the computer receiving information from my play-station 3 an interrupt if you will any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
