Putting the state in charge of all the nation’s children makes no sense

THE double-speak of the ISPCC (Letters, March 9), and the organisation’s apparent ignorance of our constitution, concerning the protection of children is breathtaking.

In the very first sentence it admits parents, not the state or other institutions, are best for children, yet its CEO goes on to call for support for the children’s referendum. If passed, this will do away with the primary rights of parents to protect their children and transfer those rights to the state.

Does the ISPCC really believe the state would make a better parent?
