So should we not then constantly inspect all parents to make sure they are not part of the more than 26% that abuse? 5 kids a day die from parental abuse. So why respect the 'parental rights' of a group who so frequently actually kill their own kids? Should all parents be subject to random home inspection? Perhaps they should. Perhaps all parents should be denied the right to purchase alcoholic beverages, because so many of the abusive parents are abusive after a 'smart cocktail' or a 'couple of cold ones'. Why take the risk that some of them could have a drink and be good parents when so many take a drink and sock their kid in the jaw?
The numbers are staggering. Parents lie, rape, beat, sell, and torture their kids at alarming rates. I think constant observation on the part of authorities is one possible way to stop at least some of this parental violence. We do not know which parents are lying, so they should all be treated as if they were on parole, basically. For the sake of the children. I'm sure you agree.
