When your actions are going to harm the child, the state has to act in the "best interests" of the child.

This is in the category of child abuse. Ask yourself: I have the right to torture and beat up my kid?

At least with torture, the kid will probably still survive. This is life and death stuff which is even more serious then torture or even sex abuse.

We cannot sit idly and let dumb parents let their children suffer due to their own agendas. If the kid dies, the blood is on our hands for sitting there by the sidelines and watching it happen.

or course how many cases of this exist?

vs how many cases where it could be used to take control out of the parents hands?

just a thought.

This is why we need some sort of licensing system or standardized testing annually to ensure that only capable people are breeding.

Short of any Orwellian solution there is just no good way to ensure that all parents will do what's right all the time. And in turn there is no good Orwellian system that will ensure the same.

we're all doomed

Of course no one wants the Gov't to be able to make decisions..and i especially am one of them...but for the crazies out there....ther should be some sort of legislature put in place where the children can be helped.....
