Governments should never stop into the role of a parent.
What if the parents can’t step in?
Then some teenagers learn what sex looks like a little earlier.
Or won't. There are a lot of very bad parents out there.
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
