Time to Protect Children Further?

One set of parents lets a child die rather than provide necessary medical attention and help.
Another allows a child to roam freely unsupervised in a rural area.
Both children die needlessly and tragically alone.
Maybe it’s time for a basic mandatory course for parents on how to parent with respect to the healthy and safety of children. Maybe we’ve reached the point in the Western world where we cannot necessarily assume that all parents automatically know best or do their best to raise and protect their kids. Maybe kids’ rights ought to supercede those of negligent or ignorant parents.
