I feel like we need to design an obligatory habitat for parents. They would hate this idea, but hear me out.

This could allow super efficient distribution of resources specifically to help children, as well as a controlled environment to ensure the parent doesn't spend it on alcohol while neglecting the child.

You could tailor the local net to avoid bad actors from outside, while maintaining a degree of freedom and privacy for the children. Maybe holds parents to some standard of accountability, while providing an obvious escape route for children with abusive parents. A place for children where they don't feel separated from, or lesser than other children due to the circumstances of their birth. Maybe allow a healthier, safer environment.

I would suggest a system that can be regulated and controlled without people putting cameras on the children.

Adults suck. Children should not be forced to endure the hell that adults can create.

Yeah parents wouldn't like it, but very few existing parents provide an actually healthy environment to grow in. Maybe becoming a parent should hold some actual responsibility.

And of parents don't follow the rules what do you do, jail them? So kid has no parents. we obviusly need something to give mental health resources amd parental classes...starting in school age so that there aren't so many broken and isolated families. Connected, community families help each other, and keep each other in check.

Just seen too many kids abused and crushed because their parents own them, and there is no caring community close enough to help. Id rather have been raised by a supportive parental community. Then again, I was tossed between several people who didn't want the burden, which is the origin of my perspective.
