I am having trouble clearing up tamper resistant receptacle locations for dwelling units where shall they be used and not using the 2017 NEC.

Seems like every one except for 30A+
Don't need them locally. Kids are just dropping left and right with forks in their hands. It's pandemonium.

I will have to look it up but under 2017 there are very very few exceptions.
