Howdy,

regular readers know that a personal topic of interest for me is child welfare
and what that means.  I take fairly radical stances on the issue (some think in
opposite directions), but that's not really what this is supposed to be about.
I'm curious if anyone out there knows what the normal political philosophies
think about this.

It seems like in the US context, liberals want to "protect" kids from different
things than conservatives do.  But those issues seem to tend to be offshoots of
other issues (e.g. religious conservatism, labor laws, etc.).

Does anyone know of a source that discusses the spectra of child-welfare
politics, or is anyone capable of explaining their perceptions on this?  What
does the exemplar Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Socialist, etc. think?  Or
is it too varied to be linked meaningfully to broad ideology?

Curious Chris
