Seems to me that the so-celled principled beliefs on this person have caused him/her to actually reject what the Bible teaches. I would like to know exactly when this person believes a child is no longer the property of its parents.

Focusing on the way you worded that, yes.

Ephesians 6:9
And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

Colossians 4:1
Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

1 Timothy 6:2
Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves.
