> The question of when a parent’s rights should take precedence over those of a child is a complicated one with no single correct answer.
Oh, me me, I know the answer, never. Children, while, well, children, are still people just like the rest of us, they dont "belong" to anyone, they arent possessions to be behold and they owe you nothing. I strongly believe that the mass majority of people are unfit to have children and never should have children, I think reproducing in many peoples eyes is seen as a way to give purpose to their own life, but I believe without a doubt in my mind that you need purpose before reproducing, because if anything, having children without purpose in your life gives your child an unfulfilling life too. The bullshit power dynamic that many of people think
should happen between children and adults is unbelievably stupid and should've never come to what it is.
What the author describes in the beginning of the post, Reunification "therapy" is so stupid when you think about children as what they are instead of how they are treated, people, imagine the article started with "woman jailed because she objected to people being forced to live with alleged rapist" instead of "a mother is in jail for opposing court-ordered reunification therapy between her sons and their father". Children owe you nothing and dont 'belong' to you.
