i would like to see stronger law enforcement around the issue, and more parents charged with child abuse for enforcing their views on their children. the rights of children to free cognitive expression take absolute precedence over the opinions of their parents; parents need to adjust to reflect the views of their children, not the other way around.

enforcing your religious views on your children is absolutely wrong all of the time. there is no valid excuse, no exception, no acceptable scenario. your children are not your property. you have no authority over them, except to protect them from harm.

and, i'd broadly support abolishing the family, altogether.

but, cases like this indicate that it is necessary to be gentle, because even the smallest disturbance could create an undesired chaotic reaction.
