Do you think 15 year olds should vote? Do you think 14 year olds should vote? Do you think 13 year olds should vote? Do you think 12 year olds should be able to enter contracts? It's arbitrary but necessary. Children shouldn't be burdened with such responsibilities and freedom.

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.

So you would put all children in the hands of paid workers? Read some history.

Don't people do that already to some extent? Teachers kinda raise your kids. Hell, the TV used to raise a lot of kids.

People decry this kind of thing in defense of parenthood, as though this weren't a self-refuting argument I mean, parents leave their kids to be raised by the TV because they're shitty parents If you took the TV away they wouldn't suddenly rise to the occasion
