Eh...my parents were never concerned "principally for me". My mom has severe bipolar and is selfish on top of that, refusing to ever take responsibility for her own life and my dad, a man she dated from the time I was three and who adopted me when they got married, hasn't talked to me since I turned 18 cause he and my mom were through and child support no longer made him pretend to care.
Then I look at one of my friends that works at a daycare tell me about the kids and there personalities and struggles and I wish caring professionals raised me.
Ya no, I am kinda glad most people on here don't have kids because this sounds awful. Regardless of what some parents do and how angry you are at your "mean" parents, you don't decide to rip children away from their parents and most parents would never agree to it, including myself. If you want to take my children away, you better be ready to catch a bullet in the head
This is basically residential school tier thinking and it just comes off as "I am a teenager and I hate my parents" tier posting
I'd gladly rip children away from any abusive parents, as a kid who experienced abuse myself. Problem is, abuse is practically baked into the current system of child-raising. I will confidently assert that 99% of parents are in some way abusive to their children, trying their best or not.

This is such a hyperbolic statement that I can't even fathom how to approach it. And you really think tearing kids away from their parents is not abusive?
Ya I can tell you were fucked up in your childhood if you think taking children away from their parents who are in good houses does nothing bad to a childs mental well being. Literally psychopath mentality.
You said that in your belief, 99% of parents were abusive and you think children should be removed from abusive homes, it's not that hard to put the two together and know what you want to do.
In retrospect, I suppose I didn't communicate very well there. I was voicing my support for the OP, in response to your rather hyperbolic comment on the matter. I guess I made my equally hyperbolic in response, which was unwise.
I'm not some kind of idealist who thinks that we could magically solve all the problems by just magically taking all the children away from their parents. Realistically, it'd have to be a centuries long transition to the style of child-raising the OP described, though I would like it if government services that separate children from above-average-level-of-abusive parents were like, ten times more efficient and speedy.

Not inherently, no. I can tell you from experience that my childhood would've been a LOT better if someone had torn me away from my mother like ASAP.

I said not inherently, try reading next time. Obviously it can be and would be in a good number of cases.

I'm a "trained professional," and trust me, we're just stumbling through too. I get where you're coming from, but I don't see it going well.
