I see this primarily as an act of immoral totalitarianism in order to treat the symptoms of other problems ...
I’m willing to bet that the vast majority of the worst parents have a combination of several obvious problems including coming from abusive backgrounds, having an abysmal education, drug problems, and teen pregnancy; and almost all of these problems can be reduced resulting in a significant improvement in parenting over-time. By creating "Parenting Licences" you’re looking at eugenics in an attempt to breed out negative traits that potentially may lead to these problems, rather than try to deal with them in a more productive way.
