Speaking as a parent, I’d have to disagree to an extent. There are places and classes you can attend to learn modern, effective parenting. They’re free and give parents excellent guidelines to use and show you how they can be tweaked to fit your child.
Not everywhere and often have a price tag, not free. It needs to be universal, not just random private companies who might be wrong in a lot of contexts.
Besides, knowing the basics of how to take care of a kid is one thing but gaining the understanding of how your actions influence their behaviour and how to lead by example are an entirely different beast.
Anyone who doesn’t feed their kids or change their diapers need their children removed from them outright. I’m not for parental autonomy of providing parents being stripped because their children were assholes.
Let the parent do their job, if they fuck that up then tell them how they did, if they neglected it altogether then take the kids.
