I believe the primary responsbility of raising children and instilling the right values in them rests with the parent(s) and not the state. The parent(s) understand their child more than any external carer could, including how they absorb information. We live in a society where actions have consequences. Therefore, I think it is right that a child learns this in a loving home environment before they're released into the society when they're grown up. Obviously, I do not support abuse in any shape or form and when there is evidence of this, we have professionals in schools that can spot this and deal with it accordingly.

No. Each child is different and their parents know how best to inculcate the right values in in them. Legislating how parents should raise their children is a very dangerous thing to do.

Yes.
The society risks raising a generation of people with questionable morals who whose sense of judgements could have been better if certain bad habits had been taken from them in a loving home environment, with the knowledge that actions ave consequences and some of those consequences are not desirable.
Furthermore, if this bill goes through, the state risks a lithany of litigations against caring and loving parents by over zealous public workers/government officials.
