Ayn Rand:
Does the state have a right ot interfere with aprents who abuse their children?
Yes, in a case of demonstrable physical abuse, like beating or starvation. This is an issue of protecting individual rights. Since children cannot protect themselves from physical abuse, and are dependent on their parents, the government can interfere to protect a child’s rights – just as it can to protect an adult from beating up, locking up, or starving another adult. Since the child is dependent for his survival on the parent, the government can see to it that the child’s life is safe. BUT this does not extend to intellectual issues. The government has no right to interfere in the upbringing of a child, which his entirely the responsibility and the right of a parent.
Does this answer apply here? Does second hand smoke constitute child abuse?
