We're in agreement it's the job of parents to be parents and raise well adjusted kids. It's the government's job to stay the hell out of the way unless a child is being abused.

Parents have a responsibility to raise and educate their children. Additionally, this is not a nanny state and the government shouldn't be telling parents how to raise their kids.

The problem is that there are many parents that are not raising well adjusted kids. The children may not be suffering from physical and sexual abuse, but they are being neglected and suffering from emotional abuse.

The govt has eroded parental abilities to discipline children. If you hit your child in public someone can report you for abuse. Is a swift smack for a misbehaving child abuse?

We need to return to the pre WWII methods of raising children.
