So if the child isn't yours, you shouldn't care what the parent does to their child?
Let's follow that logic...
Should a parent be allowed to physically torture a child simply because 'it isn't yours'? No.
What about inflicting intentional emotional abuse? No.
For that matter, should someone be allowed to murder anyone they choose 'as long as the victim has no surviving family'? Should they be allowed to kill them - simply because there is 'no one directly affected'? No.
A just society protects the vulnerable -- even from psychotic parents.
Now I am fully aware that this concept can be used incorrectly - ('You're a MAGA parent, so we are taking your child') - which is why we need a properly functioning legal system.
But it is not 'none of your business' if a parent is harming a child.
It is everyone's business if a parent is harming a child.
The question here is - 'is this harming a child'?
People may have different answers, but my answer would be 'yes'.
