It appears that kids are no longer their parents property. The parents are the ones that need supervision from the govt apparently.
What really is worrisome is when these kids see their parents punished for "not having a license / permit", it creates a Learned Behavior of Obedience to the Govt. When these kids grow up and have their own kids, how will they behave? Will they expect to need permission to wipe their own asses? How about the grandkids? Not that I think we have that long...
