"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Yes this is a strong point I don't disagree with either. I look at it like this: Yes, parents should have an inherent, natural right to access to their children. No, parents should not have medical, total financial, or personal control over their kids until an arbitrary age. The secret sauce imo is properly socialized childcare; parents could be granted the benefit of the doubt that they'll do right because there's so many resources available to them to make it manageable, this also ensures a social standard of education & healthcare applied at the youngest possible age.
At that stage you could severely increase the legal penalties for neglecting your child and introduce more safety nets in way of developmental check-ins and home visits. I would support an outright 'parenting license' in a hypothetical society where childcare was completely socialized.
