No. I assume only that children deserve a happy and healthy childhood. Honestly, if you don't want children to have a happy and healthy childhood I don't think the state should let you have children. What do you think of that?
It's the parents' responsibility to do what they can to provide such things - that is if you assume the children even "deserve" a happy childhood. It is not the role of government to make sure that children have a "happy and healthy childhood."

I'm the least socialist or leftist person on this forums. In fact, you are the socialist! You think families should be run in communal fashion rather than by rule of liberty! I say free the children, you say keep them under government control--it's just that government in your case are the parents themselves.
No, I think that families should be run by the families themselves in whatever manner they see fit. You claim to believe in some "rule of liberty" but if that rule involves the government butting its nose into people's lives then it is no rule of liberty.

It is conspicuous that you didn't respond to the rest of the post.
