Freudian slip? Or just a bad vocabulary?
Are you into persecuting those who don't raise their kids as you think they should?
Are you into [pro]secuting those who don't raise their kids as you think they should? No, I am into enforcement of fiduciary duty, which parents have with respect to their children.
It is not I but the moral and legal code of most countries that recognizes that. You have seen many examples of that, I am sure: when a child is malnourished as a result of parental negligence, the parent is charged accordingly. In fact, this much protection even pets are afforded.
I am not talking, therefore, about grey areas or matters of opinion on childrearing: I am talking about endangering the child or someone else as a result of that child's behavior (the example of the latter is when a child has an ammunition depot in his bedroom that is somehow not detected by the parents and which he subsequently uses to shoot his schoolmates at Columbine).
