133. It is not child abuse.
Your claim to have a right to interfere in the parenting of someone else's child here by invoking the immunity card of 'child abuse' is both dishonest and dangerous.

I could claim, for example, that your not taking your kids to church is 'child abuse'. I've decided that your feeding your kids macburgers twice a week is clearly abuse and needs to be put to a stop. Do you see where this idiocy leads?

Child abuse is and ought to be limited to real and tangeably acts of abuse: beating your child, having sex with a child, not you don't approve of the movie the child is watching. Are there limits? Yes indeed there are, and they are clearly defined. You can't take kids into X rated movies.
