it's also long overdue that the primary role that confessional religions play in the cause of almost all mental health problems be acknowledged and addressed by the state institutions, who should be taking a greater role n stepping in between children and their parents to prevent parents from enforcing their cultural values and religious beliefs on their children. religion is a disease and mental illness that is at the root cause of virtually all problems in society. children need to have their right to say "no" to their parents strengthened by the state, who should be stepping in to enforce those rights.
