Libertarianism and Children's Rights

This chapter examines the implications of a libertarian framework on children's rights and caregiving, discussing the potential for guardianship systems without state oversight. It explores the cultural factors affecting parental decisions regarding children's welfare and addresses the risks of abuse within systems that aim to protect vulnerable individuals. The conversation critically evaluates the effectiveness of state-run child welfare programs and debates the broader ethical considerations surrounding autonomy and rights in a rapidly changing society.
