Now to the ‘bad parenting’ thing - it’s a ‘witch hunt’ type of argument
It’s a claim that’s easy to bludgeon people with and even provide ‘evidence’ for but you would be hard pressed to create a valid argument for what good/bad parenting would be outside of anecdotes or bromides

And the solution to bad parenting would probably be way worse what we have now - I can’t imagine anyone on this board would call for licensure for parenting- it’s one of those ideas that might seem good if you don’t think about it too hard but quickly becomes a totalitarian nightmare in practice

So like most things, the way to get the best results is not to punish the bad behavior but to create an incentive for good behavior- which brings us back to economics
