While you live in my house, you’ll follow my rules!
I won’t let you choose another place to live, even if the people who own it are willing. My house, my rules!
I’ll strictly control what skills you develop and resources you amass that are relevant to being able to live on your own. My house, my rules!
I’ll deny permissions legally required to get a license or a job that I don’t want you to get. My house, my rules!
If you manage to get out of the house anyway, I’ll call on the government to force you to come back. My house, my rules!
Seriously, this is some of the creepiest shit in the US, along with the private prisons.
The government basically enforces something very close to slavery for minors, even going as far as to explicitly allow assaulting and torturing and kidnapping them and protects the abusers from consequences with violent force. That’s some shit that shouldn’t ever fly anywhere.
At least our nordic nanny states technically ban assaulting one’s child, even if it isn’t that enforced. For all their restrictions on people’s freedom, they at least apply them also to those who are the most likely and inevitably in positions of illegitimate and coercive authority.
