> so they should not be punished on that basis

I keep seeing the word "punished" used as though there are some parents somwhere who are meteing out deliberate action against their children. It's not like that. It's just bad situations happening to adults and children alike.

The only antidote we know of is having democracy and free(ish) markets to allow as much agency as possible to accumulate to individuals, rather than to state officials.

That is how many people see the world. Mankind is collectively some kind of God that is responsible for your individual plight.
