We’re not getting better parents anytime soon. Blaming them seems an oversimplified individual solution to a complex problem. Nobody has to do anything about those except claim that anybody that can’t meet your standards deserves to lose their child. Seriously, go and practice some empathy. That’s some seriously sociopathic cope on your plate.
(I also don’t think Law should carry blame for this to be clear.)
Parents are the first line of defense, period. They have the first chance to bring the child up in a loving, caring way. That doesn’t mean showering them with gifts and affection, that leads to its own problems, but it does mean taking the fucking tablet out of their hands more often, or, god forbid, not putting one in their hands in the first place. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say that these parents did that, I’m sure they have their own sins they are guilty of, but you are right, we aren’t getting better parents any time soon, but the problem isn’t that they aren’t getting better, it’s that they are actively getting worse.
And no, I’m not saying that anyone who can’t meet my standards deserves to lose their child. That’s just some bullshit you made up to try to prove a point you never had in the first place, which is just Strawmanning me with a touch of ad hominem. What I’m saying is that parents can’t just foist the blame on to others when it’s their failing that caused the bulk of the problems in the first place. I have plenty of empathy. My parents had to work their asses off to raise me and my sister in a way that let us both come out alive. I empathize with the parents that lose their children to circumstances beyond their control. War, accidents, illness. That’s where empathy lives.
