So you don't really have an answer. The only way people can think like you is if they had terrible childhoods and don't understand the emotional attachment between child and parent/guardian etc.

My childhood was great and I studied early childhood psychology in college and Arthur is correct here. The emotional attachments between parents and kids are a huge reason parental power needs to be more regulated.

Yes you can state whatever you want as some sort of objective truth, but that is so besides the point. People will still grow to love the kids in their care and vice versa even in some nebulous community-oriented system.

Loving them isn't the issue, the increased chance for and intensity of trauma as a result of that attachment is.

Implying that giving a child more choices for secure attachment is a refutation of its worth doesn't make sense.

Implying that child-care professionals in this bureaucracy are necessarily trustworthy is mind-boggling.

I don't think ANYONE is implicitly, automatically trustworthy That's why I advocate giving children a choice of adults to trust

If any of those adults truly care then they will grow to love the kids, and children in turn will reciprocate because children are dumb and easily manipulated. This scenario is no more safe for the child than a family.

the existence of that alternative means even if an attachment develops the adults in question will have more incentive not to abuse their power over the child lest they seek an alternative. How are you not seeing this.

How are you not seeing that this already exists? You should advocate for achievable reforms like empowering social services rather than this nonsense.

I mean if I just boiled it down to saying "I think it should be easier for kids to complain to CPS, like a lot easier, I think it should happen at least 10x as often as it does now" I don't think you'd go along with me

i mean this moves them from arbitrary, capricious parents to arbitrary, capricious social workers. we need safeguards that involve multiple people who can be approached. preventing them from being in the control of one or two people.
