Governments should never stop into the role of a parent.
What if the parents can’t step in?
Or won't. There are a lot of very bad parents out there.
Then some teenagers learn what sex looks like a little earlier.
They they shouldn't be parents.
What should happen when what shouldn’t happen happens?
Then bad things happen. The government controlling the raising of children has a much worse consequences.
If the alternative to a child has a bad parent, is everyone gets the government as a parent. I would rather take the former and not the latter
