Eh I sometimes wish parents weren't basically given ownership rights over their kids.

Yeah. Different people have different values.

In the same way people see "free speech" as being a good thing, "free parenting" is similar, both in concept and result.

Clearly, some people talk shit and some people parent shit. And the results are as per expectation.

But without the mixing pot of variation we wouldn't have the better ways either - and we try as a society to have education(for parents and kids, for speech and parenting) make up the difference.

And worse come to worse, there is the unfortunate need for Child Services, however that works out...

They aren't, most developed countries have some form of Child Protection Services for cases of abuse.
