Agreed, honestly. Broadly, the less accountability we give parents (more is better), the less control we should give them too. Kids deserve a safe home, but we do a bad job at ensuring that, and at the very least they don't deserve to be trapped in an unsafe one with minimal rights and parents who are allowed to be dictators. Speaking from personal experience, at least.
Truly!
