@dantheman I like this response. I think something that this post does too much of is assuming that children are often the victims of hitting, etcetera. I think that the large majority of children are well taken care of, or at least looked after in a positive way more than negative.
Children are essentially humans who do not have the ability to take care of themselves, so they need the parent to help them out. In this situation, it sort of is involuntary for the child to rely on the adult. However, services such as adoption exist to help move the child from a home where which the adult does not want to voluntarily take care of the child into a home that is more than happy to take care of them. And if the deal is that the adult takes care of the child who lacks the means to take care of themselves, then they should follow the orders of the adult so they don't make mistakes and get hurt.
Idk if that makes sense, or even if I made a point, but I think the post focuses way too much on the negative, and that it makes logical leaps in determining that the lack of freedom a child has (when they can't even take care of themselves) is what causes war and destruction.

Do you spend time around many families?

I've interacted with a lot of families, both in and out of the "system." I think most parents do the best they know how to do, and while tempers flare, and no parent is perfect, most parents do a pretty good job.
Of course there are always those who don't do their best and would benefit from positive interventions. I think within a few years, child abuse and neglect will be a thing of the past.
