Yes some kids face abusive situations in public schools. But all kids are by definition facing abuse when home schooled imho.

> by definition
My mum never punched me in my face, followed me around the playground trying to put dog shit in my backpack, steal my books and piss on them or make rumours about me to ensure I was ostracised by the other children. All the while the adults were helpless and continually told me to be a man- and worse, the adults leaning in on it being my problem. A true hopeless feeling.
You will never know how much I can despise you for your presumption that my home-life could possibly be correlated with my school life.
“by definition”. Honestly, go fuck yourself.
Lots of kids home lives are worse than your school life. But that's not the point I was making. You are letting your personal horrible experience define the whole discussion for you. But that is completely beside the point I was making. Yes some kids are physically abused even tortured at school, some kids are physically abused even tortured at home. You don't make policy decision based on outlier cases that are already illegal.
“all kids are facing abuse by definition when home schooled” is still ringing.
By your own words here you should be agreeing with me, that homeschooling should be a legal choice.
That making a policy decision based on an outlier (home abuse) that affects everyone is bad.
