and in light of the consequences, then I agree they should be FORCED to do it for the greater good of the society.

As long as you can present a good case for infringing on other people's rights, I'm for it. For example...I'm for banning smoking...because second-hand smoke kills. Some I'm for infringing on a smoker's right to a cigarette if it will save innocents' lives.

But, personally, I'm not going to really care about the welfare of their children if they themselves don't care. Some people feel it is their need to be "second mommy", and I don't feel so. Some kids will succeed, some will have been handed out a lousy set of parents, and they won't make it. Such is the way of life. Not everyone can be saved. Some will be our manual labor, some will end up being easy targets for military recruitment, and some will...gasp...DIE. This is REAL life.
