Summary

It is correct that parenting should primarily be left to parents. Families function best when trusted with authority, provided that legal mechanisms exist to intervene in cases of proven harm. Parental autonomy is the foundation of a healthy society.

Recommendation

The state should allow parents the primary role in raising their children, maintaining minimal yet essential oversight to protect against abuse and neglect. Parental autonomy must remain the core principle of family policy.
