The Example Code snippets don’t work

I have tried to get children of Great Britain and I get unfiltered rows of all DB.

        $geo = geo::getCountry('gb')->children()->orderby('name')->get();
        foreach ($geo as $g) echo $g->name . "<br>";

Output

Adamaoua Region
Adazu Novads
Agadez
Aizkraukles novads
Al Bahah Region
Al Bayda Governorate
Al Jawf Region
Al-Qassim Region
Alagoas
Alaska
Alibori
...............

The issue is already brought up here but the ticket has been closed without any explicit fix.

The same with demo route in fact that children method doesn't work.

So I managed to get it to work with Eloquent.

States 
Geo::country( $request->country )->where(['level' =>  'ADM1'])->orderBy('name')->get(); 
Counties
Geo::country( $request->country )->where(['level' =>  'ADM2'])->orderBy('name')->get(); 
Cities
Geo::country( $request->country )->where(['level' =>  'ADM3'])->orderBy('name')->get();

I will leave it up to the maintainer to decide if the ticket should stay open. Personally I think there are fixes to be implemented.
