Who's responsibility is it to look after our children?

Just us.

As for Valieva: she's not guilty of anything, it's obvious. I'm from Belarus, we watch Russian news every day. From my experience of playing sports in my youth - you don't have a right to choose. You either do what the coach says, or you don't continue your career in sports. And since for most teenagers in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine and several other former Soviet states it's one of the few legal tickets to life, your own parents will often force you to listen to the coach.
Just now the discussion about young athletes like Valieva has begun. Many before her have already lost their health, and some have received a degree of disability, all for the sake of a medal for the country and the unrealized goals of their parents. Parents who put their child's health and childhood on the line for the world... Too bad. But I see it all around me, I understand them in part. I will try not to let my daughter fall under this rink.
