Actually in the right context, I love this idea. A community that helps each other out, while acknowledging each child belongs to their own parents who bear the responsibility for their upbringing. The child learning bits and pieces from elders and people who specialise in certain areas, getting a rich education. Much lower post natal depression in this village model where mums can get a 5 minute toilet break and a chance to eat lunch.
But once you remove it from the original context, and turn the village into a governing body that owns the children, and everyone is forced to give money for authorities to use to raise the children in a limited, shallow education, so children contribute to society that best profits the authorities, and parents are forced to give up the right to raise their child as they see fit, then yes, scariest, most artificial, perverted model I can think of. Hilary Clinton or Hitler's models are really: It will be the village that raises your child or else.

If it takes a village, then parents are insufficient.

I am happy to admit that without help I am pretty insufficient. If my husband is at work for many hours, I need someone else around. If I had a village to help out, that would be great (I do not get the easy baby types), but as it is, I have to employ an assistant. When I lived with extended family, it was great, 7 other adults around for my kids to learn off and love and allow me to make dinner while they watched my kids. Without them, my kids experience would be less rich. So again, responsibility is key - help is useful and advantageous, but it's always our job to raise our kids no matter the help. With or without a village shouldn't add or take away from our ownership of our kids.
Also does Centrelink upvote your posts if you're outlining what a bad system Centrelink is? I mean they're just the workers, they don't make the entitlement laws, so my gripe is not with them totally, but I do wonder if they'd still upvote it.

It's not the real Centerlink. It's just the name they gave the autovoter for members of teamaustralia :)
