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."
Why?! What makes you think this? I assume this means you are ok with child abuse by parents because that it the obvious implication of what you are saying. Your arguments are entirely arbitrary. Why should parental control be more important than the welfare of children? It simply makes no sense.

No, I think that families should be run by the families themselves in whatever manner they see fit.
Yes, rule of family by the community of the family rather than by freedom. You're a die-hard communist.

Quote:
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.
But parents should have unlimited power to butt their nose into their children's lives?

It is conspicuous that you didn't respond to the rest of the post.
Well, maybe respond with something more substantial than one line if you want a response.
