Adam, I know. Without the state funding them how many of these feral kids would exist?

This is why I’m, as my mate says, “libertarian lite”. In other words, it’s JSM classical liberalism – liberty within certain logical constraints e.g. don’t kill someone without provocation and protect kids under a certain age, the discussion then being which age? As for parents, no we can’t force them, only appeal to them as this post does. Legislating on them gets nowhere.

Don’t forget, though, that being a libertarian (which I’m not) also means not interfering with the way that parents choose to bring up their kids, not extracting taxes and then spending them on a rubbish education system and so on…

A possible Libertarian view could be girls can defend themselves if they are attacked……i.e. shooting anyone trying to rape them……just a thought.

In Israel the equivalent of "schoolies" is "shiministim", and while they might get points for being arrested, I think they are a far healthier bunch. See Tshwane Peace Group: Khanya.

Being a libertarian means letting them get on with it. You can’t have it both ways.
