everybody asks if you would kill baby hitler, but nobody asks if you'd kidnap and raise baby hitler with so much love he'd end up happy and at peace, probably settle down with a little family of his own somewhere, maybe bake some bread, paint some trees

It's weird. I read this take and go "how about we treat every baby as a potential Hitlers and try our best to grant every single one a decent life?". Not having welfare sure seems to increase the variance in outcomes.

Would you consider social workers looking after abused children not to be a subset of welfare? I don't know how this works in the US, but in Brazil one could (and should) call the "Tutelage Council" about stuff like beatings and neglect.

I would argue that one of the most crucial factors that contributes to a person's negative psychological development is the lack of time spent with them and attention given to them by their parents. And if you can't afford a nanny or piano lessons to compensate...
