Yes, children are a special case. All healthy societies realize that children are NOT like adults and do need to be protected. It is hard to reconcile parental rights with drug abuse, and even smoking. However, it is my personal belief that when significant harm (pcychological or physical) is accruing to a child based on parental behavior, that the child's right to be healthy, then supercedes
the parent's rights to parent. Of course I don't see children as property, so parental rights aren't all that strong, in my opinion. We in America don't have a right to own other people, including our children. We associate (IMO) based on social contracts, like marriage. If you harm the other party to the contract in my opinion you vitiate the contract.
