00:00The society, the law, they all declare the child, the de facto property of the parents,
00:08at least till age 18, now how do you interfere?

00:41literature or to wise company would help them raise the kid in a much better way, otherwise
00:49the kid is just like animals being transported to the slaughter factory.
