The quote above sound familiar? I was wondering how far you carried that opinion considering the number of times over the last decades that children have died due to parental decisions on their health care. Not to mention that number of people who are willing to rear up on their hind legs and support the belief that a child is the parent's property to do with what they will. Given that background as to the nightmares that parental control can cause, I have trouble accepting claims that parents know what's best for their children.
BTW, one of my friends was a child bride from the Bountiful community. She was "married" at 12 with the enthusiastic consent of her parents and their religious leaders. Is this okay by your standards since, by most people standards, she was a young child at the time of her "marriage" and her parents sincerely believed they were acting in her best interests?
