That's how the society works.
All this backseat patenting is not a good look. Unless a legal line is crossed, you do not and cannot know what is best for someone else's child. If you believe otherwise, you ironically probably aren't fit to parent.
This is how liberty and freedom works currently, at least in the USA.
- mrtesthah 4y agoWhile parents have legal obligations to their children, they have no moral right to control them independently of ensuring basic safety and order. Laws can't define right and wrong, and it is most definitely wrong for a parent to purposefully deprive their children of education and exposure to the world solely for the benefit and protection of that parent's own ego. Children are, and have always been, raised in a society. They are not your personal slaves to lock in a closet and isolate from the world. Our social contract protects the rights of individuals. You can't claim to be in favor of liberty while denying it to someone else.
