If a parent needs a state and courts to enforce their parenting, those aren't good parents.

Gotta have state enforced child abuse!

i don't know, there is a whole world out there with an interest to manipulate, exploit, and abuse children (and people generally). a few parents can only do so much to protect their children from that. they need support from a larger community.

of course parents in this case are horrible and abusive and not fighting some actual big evil, and states are a pretty bad replacement for actual community support.
