Parents are the authorities given the responsibility of oversight over their own kids in order to protect them from predators. 99.9% of the time anybody else who tries to stick their nose in will not know better than the parents what is best for the kid. And more than that, the parents are far more likely to care enough about the kids to actually do what is best for them.

Broken homes are a huge source of unprotected children today.
