The problem is that society/government took away the parent's ability to parent, so now they feel the need to make rules to protect everyone from themselves.

Now it almost illegal to punish your kid for anything; you can't hit your kids (not that I condone child abuse but I do believe in some forms of corporal punishment when deserved), the law is impotent at punishing children, children can sue their parents, etc.etc.etc.

Society brought this all upon itself.
