It is time to move on from the two (if that) parent household as societies optimum place for raising a child. Take it from this
this 4yo or from
this one or
this one. Being a kid is hard enough with only one or two set of eyes on you. We need to reinvent the concept of family as a people/place kids visit on the weekend when not in boarding school. The more adults who are paid to have eyes on the kids the few chances the kid will fall victim to one of those adults failures, urges or evils. The more kids who are viewed as wards and not property or spawn the better off kids will be. Everyone wants to have their kids around - but its a selfish want. Your family might be the brady bunch but the family of 10 other kids out there isnt so nice. We need to give up our kids to justify taking theirs. And just think...if those 10 kids are raised in a boarding school maybe one of them wont be the one that kills your family in a robbery to get cash for drugs or whatever

Aren't these stories a little extreme. Not all people are bad apples.
Its a bell curve..
Its up to the good to put the benefit of the many ahead of their own interests. Being strong enough to do this is what makes them good
