Denmark Radio's channel for juvenlines celebrated the 25 year anniversary of Convention on the Rights of the Child (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_the_Rights_of_the_Child)

• A girl was not allowed to talk for 24 hours
• A boy lost the right to real education
• A girl was issued a GPS tracking device, lost the door to her room, had to allow the family to read her diary and look at the contents of her cell phone

It made a huge impact on children living in a modern democracy.
