    Do children have parents? Because this is their problem. When did personal responsibility stop being a thing?

    There has always been shit out there that will fuck up your kids. That’s literally never going to change unless our species goes through some DRASTIC and specific evolutionary pressures. As a parent, it’s your job to protect your kids - not society.

    Edit: And if you can’t, for whatever reason, then it’s not society’s fault that you made too many children.

      Ah yes, surely “DontMakeMoreBabies” would be the perfect source for all my parenting advice.

      Everyone knows that anti-natalists are the best source for parenting advice!

      So if a kid has crappy parents then who’s job is it to keep the kid safe?

          So the kid has to suffer because they weren’t lucky enough to be born to good parents or into a society that has a responsibility to act in their best interest. Got it.

            Correct. That is the shithole we are currently living in (excluding the few countries that give a fuck about children). For an example of someone born from shitty parents in a shitty society “educated” by the shitty public system of the USA, I present you with… Me.
