It is becoming that way here in America. One counter to that here at least in the region I am in is the rapidly growing homeschool movement. Personally I would feel I had failed my son, and my God, if I let the state raise him but I see it every day.
For example, I had on mom tell me "I can not wait till I can get my daughter in kindergarten because they will know how to deal with her and fix her."
No, raising my son is my wife and I's problem, not the state's. It is one thing (and a good one) to ask for help if needed, but responsibility must fall squarely on the parents.
