When Stealing Children can be Right

[ku]

If a society of people (society A) engaged in torture and slavery of their children as part of the culture, would it be correct and moral for another more powerful society (society B) of people to steal children away from society A for the good of the children? Assume that society B has a government that will protect the children's individual rights to freedom and pleasure.

if it is hypothetical i, personally, would agree.

if your planning a kidnap, call social services.

Yes. In fact, countries should be doing what they can to help take in more refugees from abusive countries. Countries have an ethical imperative to do so.

absolutely! in fact I wouldn`t even consider it "Stealing" as that word implies a Crime.

Some people think that slapping a kid on the rump is torture, and making them clean their room is slavery.
