The existing rules for treatment of children did not properly protect them from abuse by researchers. The court ruled that the existing regulations were inadequate to protect the welfare of the participants, and that additional safeguards needed to be put in place before the study could proceed. This decision was made in order to protect the safety and well-being of the participants, who were potentially vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation by the researchers.
