      If I actually believed all or even most kids had parents who were genuinely both willing and able to look out for their interests on their behalf it would be much easier for me to agree with you

      So what, now you're generally suspicious of parental rights and responsibilities in general? I really don't get the point here.

      I'm more skeptical of the presumption that parents have kids best interests at heary

      I'm skeptical of the assumption that random strangers and bureaucrats are any more likely to know what's right and good for my future child than I am unless I become an abusive scumbag unable to adequately provide for them.

      Pretty weird that you bestow some sort of inherent trust on others based solely on their lack of blood relation to a child that you don't afford parents. Why do you think Jimmy down the street knows what's better for my child than I?

      I trust experts. Not random people. You know, that straw man you lit on fire?

      So if somebody gets a degree in childcare and social work you think they're inherently better people than a parent without?

      "Better people" on a moral level, not necessarily But to the extent that parenting is a skill, then sure, it's a skill that requires training that people can get better at It's odd that people accept this as a general rule for other skills but put up walls around this one

      This is damaging in many ways, of course, the way this kind of romanticism always is The idea that parenting is a matter of natural instinct, or spiritual moral character, such that the only way to be bad at it is to be some kind of subhuman monster

      In fact a lot of people arguing for the status quo willingly admit this fact -- "Everyone screws up as a parent, it's a really hard job" -- while casually saying that the damage this does to children is okay and acceptable and that we can't possibly do better than that

          As a practical matter tho, I can’t tell the future and even an expert on child development can be a crappy parent - people will make all kinds of mistakes, life happens, etc. so outside of granting telepathy or clairvoyance what are folks supposed to do?

          I don't think Noah is actually in favor of this bogeyman of the evil bureaucrats either -- exchanging one set of powerful unaccountable adult authorities for another I don't have a policy answer to hand, I just think children should be far more powerful than they currently are
