Parents have rights. The children belong to them first, not the state. It is absurd to contemplate anything different, unless you think everyone is just a slave to the state and whoever is in power, or if you aren’t a parent and don’t understand the experience. Taking someone’s child away from them during the critical and beautiful first few years is frankly a form of torture, a cruel and unjust punishment that should only be undertaken if the parents themselves are being jailed. In any fair society, rights like parental rights are removed only when someone commits a sufficient crime beyond a reasonable doubt as a result of a legal process. One low skill CPS worker shouldn’t be able to decide that some parent should have their children removed.
