Taking children away from the parents should be the last thing governments should do. Only if the parents are abusing their children or totally neglecting them, then govt. should interfere. In India, govt. interference is almost 0 in this case, until the parents are found to be doing really bad things to their children, maybe like sexual abuse or extreme violence. Otherwise govt. doesn't put it's nose in this matter. Basically here we feel that in general parents (especially mothers) think the best for their children. It's very surprising for us to hear that in western countries it is not uncommon for the govt. to separate the children from their parents, on small issues like slapping, which is kinda an essential part of parenting here!!!!
