    Remember folks 9 times out of 10 when a child is being abused its by their parents or guardian. Think about that when these people talk about giving parents absolute control over another human.

      These parents don’t believe that children have rights, so what they are doing isn’t abuse in their mind. My mother once told me in a fit of rage that as long as I lived in her home I wasn’t a human being and had no rights as one beyond what she decided I could have. They believe they should have absolute control over their children, because of course you should have absolute control over your property. I respect my cats boundaries more than these people do their childrens.

      In a slightly related topic, check out homeschools invisible children if you want to be horrified. It’s a project by the Coalition for Responsible Home Education and is only a small fraction of what happens at home. This needs to be spoken about more:
