I keep making the same points because the points are spot on the topic and factually correct.
Read the thread title.
msnbc: Kids don't belong to their parents
"
The opposing position, yours, is that "kids DO belong to their parents." Like a suitcase or a pig raised for food. Did you bother to read the PDF? Even just the referenced section.
And the "community" already helps with raising kids with public schools, law enforcement, and other services.
The misbehaviors we see in young people today is partially but directly attributable to the "that's MY kid and I'LL do what I want with MY KID" attitude you're pushing.
A good community can help make up for a bad parent.

No, you keep making an attempt to turn the context of the topic to some extreme example despite me explaining several times that that is not what the video I question is talking about.

No…I’ve said several times that is not what I’m talking about. That is something YOU keep talking about, which is some extreme unrelated scenario. Kids DO belong to their parents, but in the context I’ve explained…at least twice.
The video in the OP was referencing the left idea of “it takes a village”
I mean, I could turn that around and say that if you think children belong to a community, you mean like property? Like a pig raised for food? Or a suitcase??
Did you bother to read the PDF?
What pdf? I was talking about the video in the OP. If there is a pdf linked from this forum, then no, I haven’t seen it, nor will I view it. I’m not downloading anything off of a message board to my system.
And the "community" already helps with raising kids with public schools, law enforcement, and other services.
That’s not even remotely what we’re talking about here. Those are public services, not the “community raising a child”

I can’t deny there are bad parents out there, but again, if a parent is abusing a child, then they should be turned into cps, but, if you are trying to tell me that a stranger has a right to instruct someone else’s child, or worse, punish or correct that child, then you are wrong. That’s a quick way to be involved in a confrontation with that child’s parent, or with the police.
You just don’t mess with other people’s kids. Besides, who’s to say that what the “community” tries to teach the child is right? Your values may not be the same as the kids parents values. What gives you the right to impart your values on someone else’s child?
As I’ve asked before, what happens if a bunch of trump supporters move into your community….are you going to be ok with the “it’s the communities responsibility to raise a child” then? I’m going to guess that answer will be no. If that ever happened, you’d probably say that nobody else should try to influence your child.
