I disagree with that. A child's health should only be in their parents' hands if those parents are deemed capable of providing for the child's well-being.
The trouble in this case is that it was found out only too late that they weren't.

Parents do not own their children and society has the right to set certain standarts. If I had a kid and beat it up for the smallest mistake just becaise I truly believed that that would make him/her a better person and it's the right thing to do, society has the right to take that kid away from me because it's child abuse.
