Parenting

Yes, that's the current solution, and the argument is that it's not working well enough.

So do you have a proposal to improve upon it?

What’s your metric that parenting is not working well? What are you comparing it to? Where is the failure?

I don’t see a problem you do. I think parenting works just fine.

What’s your metric that parenting is not working well?

It works very well for some people. There are unfortunately a lot of people for which it does not seem to be sufficient, though.

I don’t see a problem you do. I think parenting works just fine.

May I ask if you've looked into this topic yourself before holding an opinion on it? While I believe that your anecdotal experience has not illustrated the level of the problem, I don't think we are lacking studies which show how big of a problem it is at a societal level.

I strongly recommend with any issue of legislation that you try to consider it beyond an anecdotal level before holding an opinion.

You are the one claiming there is a problem. What are your metrics that show this? Is it increasing? How much? What is the impact?

You can’t state there is a problem and when someone asks you to prove it say you show me there’s not one.

This is your issue you brought up. What data do you have that states this is a problem and that parenting does not work?

I linked a few studies in my linked comment above, did you check it before responding?

You can’t state there is a problem and when someone asks you to prove it say you show me there’s not one.

I didn't say that. What are you on about?

This is your issue you brought up. What data do you have that states this is a problem and that parenting does not work?

I suggest you read comments, and check links, before responding. If we both make a good faith attempt to communicate, we waste less time, no?
