    Yes, child abuse does exist and to some extent the state has a say in how parents raise their children. But parents get to choose what ideologies, religions, and morals they teach their children, among other things. The state should have very little say other than extreme cases of abuse. Same way you don’t tell a random man in Russia how to raise his child, you don’t tell your neighbor how to raise his child. Just mind your own business and stop pretending to have the moral high ground.

      So let parents fuck up their children and possibly destroy their lives all because “they’re my children, I can do what I want”, really? They’re not toys you can do whatever you like with, it’s a life.
