The possessions, IMO, depends on the concept of ownership. Are kids' toys "theirs"? If so, no, I don't support that, either.

And, yes, I know that absolutely no kid ever will agree w/ me that toys are a small issue!

I don't think the argument is that 'you have to treat kids like you treat adults in every way.' I think the argument is simply:

"You can't assault your child simply because they're a child,' which many people do seem to believe.

I think your paraphrase of the 'kids v. adults' argument is not what people are arguing.

Right. Well, nowhere to go from there then. That is the argument I am arguing against & not any other.
