So we're not allowed to speak out against one instance of abuse unless we are aware of all of them? That's just silly.
We - as a society - need to be willing to speak out against parents who are publiclyabusing their children.
If someone organized a 'Parents Beat Your Kids at the Beach Day', should we not intervene simply because we don't know about other kids who are being beaten within their homes? I don't think so.
Organized, public, and therefore (implicitly) sanctioned abuse is horrific.
We should speak out about what we know about.
The private abuses are harder to know about, and (I assume) they usually come to light through other members of the family, or a friend of the family, etc -- not someone who is 'prying into everyone's homes'.
I'm sorry I really don't know why you are putting words in my mouth and making assumptions. My verbiage is very clear, stop posting stuff without a solution regardless of the situation. Either take action against the issue or move along. Lots of low effort posts and people acting on emotions instead taking a moment to process what the other person is trying to get across.
Your (first) comment said "It is none of my business if a parent wants to take their kids to a drag show". Your words, not mine.
My argument is that it IS your business, and the business of our entire society that we do not (implicitly) sanction these abusive public events by being silent.
The Leftists want to keep us all quiet by deviously twisting the concept of free will. And then good people (like yourself) accept their twisted logic. (Using your words again: "...the truth is we are born with free will and have the right to do what we want...".)
The proper purpose of free will is not to do 'anything we want', but to do what is right. And that is eminently so when our actions can harm someone else.
Parents do have free will, but they do not have a right to harm their children. And, as a society, we should not stand quietly by when they do it in public.
I will gladly refrain from "bashing and judging other peoples lifestyle and decisions" if the parent chooses to dress their child in 'green shorts' instead of 'blue long pants'. But I will "waste my energy" being concerned when they are taking their child to a 'show' that is specifically designed to confuse the child before the child has the ability to apply reason.

Moving along, so what ate you personally going to do to change things?
For one thing, I am not telling others to 'accept it'.
