Kids would still have access to all the support they have now- parents, teachers, allies, community etc. They would just have the right to say 'no' like everybody else. It's basic equality. Either you believe in it or you don't. Apparently you don't. There's no need to be a dick about it.Comrade Hermit (Nicky Reid)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15143429283240217518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903948190815094163.post-86501527244089173452020-01-10T14:02:46.385-08:002020-01-10T14:02:46.385-08:00Hey, idiot.

Most child abuse is committed by people with access to children, and you want to give unrestricted, unfettered access to children to literally any adult, with no laws or qualifications whatsoever. If you abolish compulsory schooling there is no "right to school", they will be ushered immediately into the work force, and if there's no age of consent laws, a huge chunk of that work will be sexual slavery. "Unions"? Children are born physically weak, have no money, and don't know anything about the law or society, and you think they're going to organize a picket line or negotiate contracts with their boss?

That's because of the severe imbalance between the rights of children and adults. That imbalance can't be fixed until children are afforded the same rights as any other citizen, and that includes the right to work, the right to go to school, and the right to choose their own form of education. Kids don't need teachers and bureaucrats running their lives. Kids need unions and civil rights. Look up deschooling and syndicalism.

So you want to "empower" children, but to do that you want to abolish all the social and legal infrastructure that makes it so they aren't illiterate sex slaves and coal miners.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11701713563279559301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903948190815094163.post-82926167538838138322020-01-09T14:23:31.175-08:002020-01-09T14:23:31.175-08:00I was emotionally abused as a kid.

I guess I was lucky to be doing my not-standing-up for the pledge (and my refusal to repeat the lord's prayer) in the 50s, so I just got called out for possibly being a communist. No handcuffs. There are so many areas in which children are abused, often in the name of helping them, and I can't help but be enraged (okay, discouraged) that so few kids have the ability to stand up for themselves. What they're suffering from is learned helplessnessCS McClellan/Catanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528100633458181090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903948190815094163.post-49694415194141100772019-02-28T16:12:09.785-08:002019-02-28T16:12:09.785-08:00Have you looked into complex trauma and complex PT...Have you looked into complex trauma and complex PTSD (C-PTSD?)

My Catholic school tried to use that as an excuse to vilify me. They thought it was a clear sign that I would become another school shooter.
