I wish these polls would ask those same parents if they support outing children to abusive parents when doing so might endanger the child.
Because here's the thing; if you think you deserve to know what's going on with your child, that's fine. That's a healthy thing to want to know. And if your child thinks there's something you should know, they'll tell you.
But if they haven't told you, it's because you've never given them any reason to believe that it would be safe to tell you, and that is entirely on you.
@Voroxpete @sik0fewl Many probably would. Many “parental rights” people view their children as more akin to property than people.
I think that's a great talking point, however I strongly doubt it's true.
I don't have kids so I've got no pony in this race, but I do have a dog. He's not property, I'm not his 'master', but he is 100% my responsibility, which is why I keep him on a leash whenever we leave the house. It's why I spend my time watching him when we're at a dog park instead of sitting on my phone like the other people there.
@baconisaveg I’m not the only person suspecting what “parents’ rights” means to many or most of the rightwing advocates of it. While I often side-eye people using Youtube to back up their claims, I do think this particular Youtuber succinctly lays out the often problematic use of “parents’ rights”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNOmFBw1I_M&t=6s
